Auto Insurance Claim
If you’re involved in an auto accident or have damage to your vehicle...
Safety is the priority. Move to a safe location and check for injuries. If there are injuries, call 911.
- Call the police right away and avoid discussion of insurance policy coverage and fault
- If you’re able to do it safely, take photos of the accident (intersections, street signs, mile markers) and damage to other property or vehicles.
- Gather accident details including year, make, model and license plate of all vehicles involved in the accident.
- Exchange contact information including name, phone, email of anyone involved and any witnesses, as well as insurance information (Carrier & Policy #).
Home Insurance Claim
- Make sure you can safely access the home or area. If you don’t feel safe or you’re unsure, it’s best to get a professional.
- We know viewing damage to your home or business can be very difficult. Before any clean up, be sure to make a list of damages and record it with photos and videos.
- You might need the help of an expert for clean up or repairs. If you’re unsure who to use, your dedicated claim professional can provide you with a choice of highly qualified and insured contractors in your area once you file a claim.
- Take steps to prevent further damage until your claim can be investigated.
