When a loss occurs, it may be difficult to determine where to start on the road to recovery. Check out these tips to help get your business back on its feet.
Begin the claims process
As a policyholder, you’ll want to contact your Amerisure agency as soon as possible after natural disaster damage occurs. You’ll need to describe the extent of the property damage and any special needs that should be taken into consideration. Amerisure also offers online claim reporting for easy, efficient filing.
Start documenting
Take photos and document details of the property damage to aid the adjuster during the claims process. The more detailed and thorough your documentation is, the easier it will be to resolve your claim and get you the support your business needs.
Wait to throw things out
While it may be tempting to throw away damaged items, be sure to photograph them before you do. Also, confirm with your adjuster that the items will not be needed at any point during the claims investigation process. If the items have special model numbers, or contain specific parts, document this information for your replacement records before trashing.
See what services are available
Depending on the extent of the damage to your business, you may need to use emergency services. Your Amerisure agency can recommend these services like roof covers, door and window boarding, or even a data warehouse provider.
Amerisure’s goal is to get your business operating fully and efficiently, as soon as possible after a loss occurs.
