What to do in case of a PROPERY loss
|
- Contact your insurance carrier 24/7 claims office or contact your agent to get directions as to where to file your claim.
- Take immediate steps to safeguard the property and minimize risk of further loss or increased costs; and obtain first aid for any injured persons. You may make temporary repairs to protect the property, but avoid contracting for permanent repairs until your loss has been reviewed by your claims adjuster and your adjuster has given you directions.
- After reporting your claim, your claims adjuster may refer you to a local disaster recovery service to arrange clean-up and recovery services.
