What to do before filing a claim.
Claims can feel stressful, especially when damage happens suddenly. Before you file, gather as much information as possible so your carrier can review the situation quickly and accurately.
If you are unsure where to start, call our local insurance agency in Marksville. As your neighborhood insurance agent, we can look up our phone number for your carrier, help point you toward the correct claim department, and explain what information may be helpful.
Policy number or insured name
Date, time, and location of the loss
Photos or videos of damage
Police report or incident report, if available
Repair estimates, receipts, or invoices
Do not wait if safety is involved.
If there is an emergency, injury, fire, theft, road hazard, or unsafe property condition, call emergency services first. Insurance paperwork comes after people and property are protected.
Once things are safe, document the damage and contact your insurance carrier or our office for help with the next step.
