BOSTON (Sept. 2, 2021) – To help customers promptly and safely recover from the devastating damage of Hurricane Ida, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance are actively mobilizing their deep field and telephonic claims resources to promptly assist home, auto and business customers that were impacted. More than 110 property and auto claims experts are deployed to the region, with approximately 2,500 specialists available by telephone to assist customers.
To further facilitate a quick response and recovery, the companies have set up a home and auto claims mobile unit ready to assist customers, located at The Home Depot, 10300 Coursey Boulevard, in Baton Rouge. As the storm recovery progresses, the mobile claims unit may be relocated to assist the most customers. The company will continue to provide updates of mobile unit location online at www.libertymutual.com and through its social media channels @LibertyMutual.
