• What you need to check on a claim

  • Claim number

    The 12 digit number assigned to you when you called to report your claim. With it, we can pull up your case quickly.

  • Name or extension of claims associate

    If you want to speak to the same associate you filed your claim with, have their name or extension handy.

• What to expect in the claims process

  When you report a claim, we’ll have a Claims Specialist begin to work on it right away.

  Some steps the Claims Specialist will commonly follow include:

  • Review your insurance policy and the coverage in effect for the loss to determine what types of damage or injuries are covered.
  • Attempt to speak with everyone involved in the incident – drivers, passengers, witnesses, etc – to get everyone's account of the incident.
  • Conduct a detailed interview with each person involved if there are conflicting versions of what happened in the incident.
  • Review other relevant information such as the police report, applicable state and local traffic laws, photos of the scene and the vehicles involved and other available information.
