BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Storms and flooding in the United Kingdom over the recent holiday period will cost insurers about £426 million ($702.2 million), the London-based Association of British Insurers said Tuesday.

Storms between Dec. 28 and Jan. 8 resulted in 174,000 claims from businesses, homeowners and auto owners, the ABI said.

In a statement, Aiden Kerr, assistant director and head of property at the ABI, said insurers and loss adjusters had acted quickly to help policyholders affected by flooding cope during the Christmas period.
