DALLAS, June 14, 2012 – In the wake of yesterday’s intense hail storms that swept the Dallas-Fort Worth area, GEICO is moving in a Catastrophe Claims Team to assist policyholders affected by the recent storm.
GEICO urges policyholders to report their claims as early as possible. To reach GEICO's claims team anytime, 24 hours a day, call 1-800-841-3000, or report the claim on GEICO's website, www.geico.com.
