How do I file a home insurance claim?

Document the damage thoroughly with photos and video before any cleanup. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Provide your policy number, description of the damage, and any documentation. Make temporary repairs to prevent further damage and save all receipts. An adjuster will inspect the damage before finalizing your claim.

Why It Matters

A well-documented claim processed correctly gets you the settlement you deserve. Mistakes in the claims process can delay or reduce your payout.
