Property Claims
When you have had a property loss it is important to remember the following advice to help you prevent further damage to your property and to help you file a claim as swiftly.
- Take immediate steps to limit the amount of damage to your property. For example: If you have had water damage, contact an emergency service provider (i.e.: a Plumber) to come in and clean up the area.
- Document Everything: Keep accurate records of all costs associated with the clean up and detail what was done to eliminate further property loss. It is also helpful to take pictures of the damage and emergency repair work. If your loss involved a theft, you will need to forward a copy of the police report.
- Do not throw away any damaged equipment or property until an adjuster has had an opportunity to survey the loss.
- Secure the premises. Protect your premises from further intrusion by boarding up broken glass, repairing locks, etc
- Depending upon severity of your loss and availability of local claims adjusters, you should be contacted within 48 hours by an insurance company representative.
- Document your conversations with insurance adjusters as well as contractors who will be providing you with repair estimates.
