According to LPI partner - the Insurance Information Institute (Triple-I), national insurance claims data reveals:

-The total value of lightning-caused U.S. homeowners insurance claims rose by over 30% in 2023,totaling $1.27 billion, compared to $950 million in 2022.

-The number of lightning-caused U.S. homeowners insurance claims increased by 13.8%.

-The average cost per lightning-caused claim surged by 14.6%, from $15,280 in 2022 to $17,513in 2023.

These risks can be mitigated. Start with an ASSESSMENT. Then, take the necessary actions to PROTECT you, your home and business. If the assessment puts your structure in a mid to high range area of risk, seek additional support from an LPI certified contractor to discuss lightning protection systems.
