-
How do you determine the value of my claim?
Each individual claim is different and evaluated as such. The value of your insurance claim depends on a variety of factors, including the coverage you purchased and the damages sustained.
-
How long will it take for my claim to be processed?
Again, each claim is different so there is not a concrete answer. We are committed to investigating, evaluating and resolving insurance claims in a timely manner.
-
Is there anything I can do to help speed up the process?
You can help streamline the claims process and avoid delays by providing the following information when you file your insurance claim:
- Policy number
- Date, time, and location of loss
- Description of loss or damage
- Digital photos (if possible)
- Police report (if applicable)
- Itemized medical bills (if applicable)
- Receipts related to the loss
- Best phone number to reach you
