Steps in Claiming your Home Insurance
The following are the five steps how to prepare and to file your insurance claim:
1. Give the insurance company an immediate notice of your insurance claim. Immediately call the agent about any damages that you think will need a claim.
2. You should document any damages on your property that you noticed or confirmed. You can use a digital or video camera to capture visual evidence of the damage. Prepare written documentation as well.
3. Repair the damage temporarily if you can. If you noticed a damage, try making immediate repairs because preventing further damage is your responsibility. If you’re buying supplies for the repairs, keep the receipts for future reimbursements.
