XL Estimates Charley Claims at Around $125 Million

Bermuda’s XL Capital Ltd. announced that, based on initial loss reports and preliminary estimates, it expects to receive net claims of approximately $125 million as a result of Hurricane Charley.

“The majority of XL’s claims from the hurricane are expected to come from its Bermuda-based reinsurance unit,” said the announcement. “The financial impact of the hurricane related claims will adversely affect XL’s 3rd quarter results but will not materially affect the Company’s overall financial condition,” it added.
