British insurer RSA weather claim bill to hit €130m

British insurer RSA today warned its bill for UK weather-related claims was expected to be £110m (€130m) more than normal after the coldest December for 100 years.

Last month’s snow and freezing conditions sent claims for snow and burst pipes soaring, with around 8,000 claims at an average cost of £6,700 (€7,900) since November.
