Automobile Claims...
The Basics...
· Our job is to help you.
· But you can also help us to help you.
· The more you can tell us about a loss, the more we can do to adjust your claim quickly and efficiently.
· If you are in an automobile accident, first seek medical attention for anyone who has been injured. Then you can begin gathering information to help with your claim.
· Keep in mind that you are the best person to tell us what happened. So be prepared to provide as many details as possible about the accident, where it happened and how it occurred. This information can be critical in settling a claim.

Homeowners Claims...
When it comes to your home, any loss can be devastating. By working together, we can help make your recovery from a loss a lot less painful.

Property Damage Or Theft...
· Begin by making a list of everything that has been damaged or lost in the claim. The more information you can provide, the more quickly we can adjust your claim.
· List as much detail as possible including the model, place and date of purchase, and amount of all your damaged or stolen property.
· Receipts, owner's manuals, canceled checks and credit card bills are especially helpful.

Fire And Smoke Damage...
You can take other steps to minimize the impact of a loss at home.
· In case of fire and smoke damage promptly report your loss.
· Do not try to clean the damaged items as sometimes cleaning things without the proper equipment can do more harm than good.
· We can advise you how to best protect your property and review what is covered.

Water Damage...
If your home has suffered water damage...
· Move all your possessions out of the affected areas and then make sure that all the water is removed.
· A wetvac or emergency cleaning service can help with this job. If you use a cleaning service, save your receipts.
In the case of either fire or water damage, help protect the safety of your family and pets by keeping them out of the damaged areas.
