The branch of Rosgosstrakh in the Sverdlovsk region is completing payments to its customers from the village of Shaidurikha near Yekaterinburg, whose houses and property were damaged or destroyed during a major fire on July 12-13. The fireball from the burning forest, which spread to the settlement, destroyed 41 buildings — almost a quarter of those in the village. The authorities were forced to evacuate almost 300 residents of Shaidurikha, but, unfortunately, there were casualties — an elderly pensioner died.
11 of the destroyed houses were insured in Rosgosstrakh. Specialists of the insurance company, headed by the director of the Sverdlovsk branch Nikolai Guziy, have already left on July 14 to organize the reception of applications from victims in the operational headquarters deployed by the authorities. As of July 20, insurance payments have already been transferred to the accounts of 9 clients of the company — their total amount amounted to almost 8.5 million rubles. Payment for another loss is expected in the near future, for the last object, the legal successors of the policyholder must first issue inheritance rights.
"Most of the payments were made by us in less than a week. We are well aware of how important moral support and material support are to people in such difficult moments, and therefore we always try to fulfill all the obligations assumed under the insurance contract as quickly and delicately as possible," says Nikolai Guzy. — The experience accumulated over more than 100 years of work allows Rosgosstrakh, even in emergency situations, to make payments of insurance compensation to its customers in a short time. Our company has special regulations for the regulation of mass losses — according to a simplified procedure, without requesting documents from the competent authorities from customers and generally with a minimum of formalities."
The director of the branch of Rosgosstrakh in the Sverdlovsk region recalled that this was not the first high—profile event that the insurer settled in the region this year - about 19 million rubles were paid to the victims of the fire from Sosva, where a fire also destroyed several blocks at the end of April. The responsible approach of insurers to their business and their prompt fulfillment of all obligations have strengthened the confidence of the residents of the Urals in Rosgosstrakh and insurance in general. So last June, the fees of the insurance company for houses and cottages in the Sverdlovsk region increased by 18% compared to May.
