Why no cost estimate yet?
Insurers have given no estimate of the cost. This is typical after widespread events. They need to receive all claims, assess the extent of damage to each of the 3,000 shops, and determine what is covered by individual policies. This process takes time, especially for complex cases involving structural damage, lost stock, and potential business interruption claims.
