Claim Tips
Be proactive and minimize the extent of any loss.
Do not admit liability for any accident without having discussed the claim with your Account Executive or your insurer’s adjuster.
When speaking to emergency personnel obtain names, phone numbers, report numbers and dates and times.
Note as many details as possible at the earliest opportunity while the events are fresh in your memory.
Where practical, take photo/video evidence of the incident scene.
