What is the highest insurance claim ever paid out?

It is difficult to determine the highest insurance claim ever paid out as there are many types of insurance and claims that can be made, and the amount of payout can vary widely depending on the circumstances of the claim.

However, some notable insurance claims include:

Hurricane Katrina: The 2005 hurricane caused an estimated $41.1 billion in insured losses, making it the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

Japanese earthquake and tsunami: The 2011 disaster caused an estimated $35 billion in insured losses.

World Trade Center attacks: The 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001 resulted in insurance claims of approximately $40 billion.

Deepwater Horizon oil spill: The 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in more than $20 billion in insurance claims.

Hurricane Harvey: The 2017 hurricane caused an estimated $19 billion in insured losses.

It’s important to note that these are estimates and the actual payouts may vary depending on the policies and agreements in place
