How Long Does a Renters Insurance Claim Take?
The time it takes to handle a claim is different for each unique claim and can depend on things like how quickly the claim is filed after a loss, how large the loss is, how well documented the claim is and more. There are things you can do to help reduce the time it takes to file and settle a claim. First gather the information you’ll need to file your claim.
To file a renters insurance claim, contact your insurance company with the date of the incident and details about the incident. Claims should be reported as quickly as possible after the loss event. The quicker you make a claim the faster the work can begin to take care of it. The claims process involves assessing damage done to valuables, the costs associated with the damages, and the policy coverage in place. Submitting a detailed inventory of the damaged property can be helpful in speeding up the process. Inventories provide needed information to insurance companies, allowing them to process the claim efficiently. For example, when a fire destroys valuables so that they can no longer be identified, insurance companies can consult the inventory for the information they need to process the claim.
How Can Renters Insurance Help Me?
Renters insurance from The Hartford provides reimbursement for possessions taken from your home. For example, you return from vacation to find valuables missing in your apartment. Renters insurance can help reimburse you the value of the lost items.
There are two types of reimbursement values to consider when selecting renters insurance. The first is actual cash value (ACV). An ACV reimbursement pays what the possession was worth at the time was taken from your apartment. For example, if someone stole your two-year old camera from your apartment today, an ACV policy would pay what your two-year old camera is worth today. This ACV payment could be less than what it would cost to replace your camera if you had to purchase a new one of similar quality. The second type of reimbursement is replacement cost value (RCV).This type of policy pays to replace your camera with a new one of similar quality.
