ICT ‘projecting hundreds of thousands of claims’ after winter weather
Last week, insurance agency State Farm saw 37,000 claims.
AUSTIN, Texas - The Insurance Council of Texas, or ICT, is "projecting hundreds of thousands of claims," after winter weather swept the state resulting in broken pipes, water damage, and car crashes. 
"We’re looking at a statewide event which is, again, we’ve all heard this word, unprecedented, but it’s one of those events where resources are being taxed," said Camille Garcia of ICT.  
Garcia says most claims are connected to frozen and burst water pipes. Last week, insurance agency State Farm saw 37,000 claims. Spokesperson Chris Pilcic says most of those are related to broken pipes. "So to put this into some perspective...last year in the state for the entire year we had 75 of those claims," he explained.
