The Central Bank of Paraguay has issued mandatory instructions for policyholders seeking compensation for damage from the severe weather event on October 3, 2026. Claims must be filed with the relevant insurer within three days of learning of the loss, making October 6 the deadline for damage arising from the storm. Sundays and public holidays count toward this period. Policyholders should first confirm that their policies cover storm, windstorm, hail or flood damage. Before moving affected property or undertaking emergency repairs, they should photograph and record all damage, including damage to vehicles, homes and commercial premises. Repairs should not begin before the insurer has registered the claim, appointed an adjuster or formally approved an estimate from an authorized repair shop. Claims may be submitted through insurers’ digital platforms, agents or brokers, or other official service channels. Policyholders should provide their identification and policy or property details, together with the date, approximate time and location of the event and a brief factual account of the damage. Unresolved complaints may be referred to the Central Bank’s Superintendency of Insurance.
