Your claim representative can provide you with recommendations and advice for undertaking any repairs.

• Remember to keep all your receipts for any temporary repairs you make. Also retain receipts for living expenses as a result of the loss to your residence.

• While tempted to clean up as much as possible, especially after a hurricane, do not throw away household belongings such as furniture or any personal items until these items have been inspected by a representative.

 

In the event of a natural disaster or catastrophe, such as a hurricane, the number of claims being made by victims will be significant and everyone will be trying to call at the same time. You may experience delays in connecting with representatives. Please be patient and keep trying. Claims representatives will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at most companies.
