Surge and Lightning Claims Webinar Recording

Ready to learn how to differentiate between lightning, high voltage surge, and wear and tear damages? There’s no time like the present. April to August sees an increase in claims where policyholders cite lightning as the cause of loss, but without an investigation, there’s a risk of misattribution and claims leakage. In fact, 63% of reported perils were recategorized in 2023 following StrikeCheck’s independent cause of loss evaluation.
Join Alpine Intel Technical Education Manager, Jay Dykstra, for the Surge and Lightning Claims Webinar. In this presentation, Jay will teach you strategies for discerning lightning from high voltage surge and wear and tear so that you can handle these claims more accurately.
By the end of the presentation, you’ll have explored real-life claim scenarios and be more familiar with:
- High voltage surge and lightning basics
- Appliances, electronics, electrical systems, and specialty equipment susceptible to surge and lightning damage
- Examples of lightning and high voltage surge damage
