You have met with property damage
to your home or business. What to do now? How to present an insurance claim? If
you already have an insurance policy, then that insurance policy is a contract
between you and the insurance company. It defines what are the things to be
done and what should not be done after you have had a claim. If you fail to
comply with the policy’s terms, it may end up in your claim not being paid. Most
people go for a home insurance policy during the closing process, without actually
looking at its terms and conditions. You realize many aspects of the policy
only when you are forced to make a claim. Here are a few tips for making a successful property insurance claim.
- Read your policy thoroughly before submitting a claim.
- Secure your property to prevent additional damage
- Notify your insurance company/agent
- Find a temporary workplace/housing
- Get professional help to overcome the red tape
- Create a detailed inventory of damaged property
- Do not throw anything away
- Do not begin repairs until you get the insurance company’s approval
- Never assume you have to use the insurance company’s vendors
- Never allow your settlement to be paid to other parties
- Never respond after replacing/repairing the property
