If your property has been damaged by wildfires, follow these steps to ensure a smooth claims process:
Contact Emergency Services: If your safety is at risk, prioritize evacuation and call 911 immediately. Once you are safe, you can begin the claims process.
Document the Damage: Take photos and videos of the damage to your property, both inside and outside, before making any repairs. This documentation will be crucial for the claims process and can help expedite your claim.
Mitigate Further Losses: Take reasonable steps to prevent further damage to your property, such as covering broken windows, tarping damaged roofs, and securing entry points to deter looting.
File Your Claim: Submit your claim as soon as by contacting your Insurance Company’s claims department directly. Provide detailed information about the extent of the damage and any relevant documentation to support your claim.
Work with Adjusters: Claims adjusters will assess the damage to your property and guide you through the claims process. Be prepared to provide additional information or documentation as needed to facilitate a prompt resolution.
