Insurance claims can be a complicated process and, at times, that complexity can cause discrepancies, general confusion, or act as a time drain. Here's what you need to know about insurance claims.

What Insurance Claims Are For 

Insurance claims are essentially the way in which you make a formal request, as an insurance policy holder, regarding a policy event or to seek after loss coverage.  For example, if you are a real estate investor and your house suffers fire or flood damage, then you would need to make an insurance claim in order to get coverage for the damage.  Your agent would need to access the damage and determine if it would be covered under your policy.

What You Need To Know About Insurance Claims

Insurance shouldn't be scary!  That is the number one thing you need to know about insurance claims.  However it is also imperative  to first and foremost, know what kind of investor you are.  For example, if you own an auto garage , then you will need a different type of insurance than if you owned a restaurant.  The same would be true when it comes to niches within specific industries.  For instance, flipping houses as a real estate investor requires different insurance than does being a multifamily investor.

Aside from knowing what type of investor you are, you would also need to document everything.  It is good standard to keep documentation at all times, but it is especially important when it comes to insurance claims.  Having a conversation with your agent it also extremely important as well.
