Five years after Hurricane Wilma hit, insurers getting new claims, lawsuits
Five years after Hurricane Wilma crossed Florida, insurers still are being whipped as they deal with new and reopened claims that have come along years after the storm.
By now, it seems Wilma might have been forgotten. The storm made landfall near Marco Island on Oct. 24, 2005, as a Category 3 hurricane, then headed for the east coast.
Costs have mounted for insurers, who will be paying Wilma bills for years.
