Step 1: File your claim.

Once you file a claim, you'll get a claim number that will help you track your claim.

We may need to investigate the details of your loss. If so, one of our claims professionals will walk you through the process and answer all of your questions or concerns.

Step 3: Evaluate damage.

A professional will assess the damage, determine what needs to be repaired or replaced and provide you with an estimate.

Agent discussing estimate with customers.

Step 4: Review estimate.

Once you've received an estimate of the damage, your claims adjuster will discuss your settlement based on your policy provisions, terms and coverage.

Step 5: Wrap up your claim.

Your claims adjuster may send you any applicable payments and can answer any questions you may have.

Staying organized can help you keep track of your claim. Writing your claim number on important documents is a good tip to keep in mind. If you have an auto claim, the auto insurance claim worksheet can help you keep everything straight.
