Mexico City Flood Victims: Expert Advice on Insurance Claims and Damage Reporting

Mexico City Residents Advised on Handling Flood Damage to Vehicles Mexico City experienced heavy rainfall recently, causing significant damage to vehicles. Experts from the Sale el Sol TV program offered advice to residents affected by the flooding. The key recommendation is to switch off your car's engine immediately if it becomes submerged. "If you don't turn off your car, the insurance won't cover the damage," one expert explained. This is because water entering the engine can cause irreparable harm. The video also details the process of filing claims with the local authorities. One expert stressed the importance of documentation, saying, "You need to report to Locatel and gather evidence like photos of the damage and your vehicle's location." Residents can then take this documentation to a civil judge to pursue compensation for their losses. While the process may take time, it offers a path to recovery for those impacted by the floods. The city's program for handling such incidents provides a framework for residents to seek redress.
