Manitoba Public Insurance has announced plans to resume appointments for hail claim insurance as of next week.
The crown corporation says in a news release that a combination of the ongoing labour dispute as well as a sharp increase in the number of hail claims this year has led them to put additional measures in place for their customers.
MPI says it will open dedicated resources at its Physical Damage Centre, in order to provide faster estimates, and help more customers get their vehicles fixed sooner.
They say they have received over 11,600 hail claims so far this year, with over 3,800 alone coming as a result of a storm that battered parts of southern Manitoba on August 24th.
They project this year will be one of the worst years for hail-related claims in the past two decades.
