Filing an insurance claim is something most people don’t ever want to deal with, but sometimes have to. At HomeFirst®, we know that it can be overwhelming, so we try to make the process as seamless as possible. Here is a look at how our claims process works:
After an incident occurs and damage results, the first step is to gather all the necessary information (i.e. date of loss, name of the insured, address, contact information, policy number and summary of the loss) and file a claim online or by telephone if it's more convenient. It’s also a good idea to contact your lender if you have a home loan and let them know that you have filed a claim.
Once your claim has been submitted, you will be contacted by one of our claims representatives. Although wait times and call length vary, plan to spend around 8-10 minutes speaking with one of our representatives as we gather more information about the damage.
Next, your claim will be assigned to a claims adjuster, who will discuss what information is needed to resolve your claim. Your claims adjuster will have your property inspected if it is necessary to determine the loss and estimate the repair cost.
