Filing a Claim
Speeding Up an Insurance Claim
First, document when and to whom you spoke, and what about from the first report of the claim to every subsequent conversation.
Insurance companies see a claim as their chance to perform, to prove the value of their service. Happy insurees stay with their company and sometimes even recommend the company to others.
Also, there are provisions in your policy that detail how a loss will be handled - so make sure you read it over carefully! The policy and state law spell out how long an insurance company has to furnish forms to you by which you can document the value of your loss, etc. From there, the impetus is upon the insurance company to settle the claim promptly, taking what time is needed to properly handle the claim, but no more.
