Automobile Accidents
When you have an automobile claim, it must be reported to the police. If the car is not driveable, have it towed to your preferred body shop or dealership if they are
open. If not, have it towed to your house until you can talk to an adjuster.
Burglary or Vandalism Loss - No burglary or vandalism claim can be paid without a police report or police report item number.
Property Loss
- You should take steps to ensure the safety of life and property and prevent further damage. Beyond that, don't try and deal with the damage yourself, or it could make your claim difficult to process.
Water Damage
- Call a service specializing in water damage to carpets and padding. Many people remove the carpets and padding immediately, but the carpet frequently can be saved if removed by an experienced professional.
Fire Damage - Do not try and clean up the smoke damage after a grease fire. Many people do more damage to the walls cleaning up than the fire does.
Broken Pipes
- Call a plumber to determine the location and cause of the damage.
