In the event of a loss, it is important to know what your boat insurance policy will cover. We wanted to discuss some things to know in the unfortunate event of a loss. Hopefully it'll help soften the blow. If anyone has additional tips, please share!
First things first, know what is covered under your specific policy. If the property under your policy suffers a covered loss or damage, you should file a claim with your insurance company. Based on the terms and conditions of your policy, you may be partially or fully reimbursed for your damages. If you need a refresher on what your policy covers and up to what amount, check your policy or contact the underwriting department.
After suffering a loss, you should contact your insurance company as soon as possible. They can take a first report by phone or you may be able to submit your report online. You should report how and what happened, the details of the accident, any injuries, extent of damages, and any other information you have relating to the loss or items that may be covered under your policy. In addition, you should provide the names and contact information of any witnesses or injured persons. If your insured property was stolen or vandalized, you should file a police report as well.
Always provide proof if you can. Providing proof of the damaged property will strengthen your claim. Photos can be a vital component and should be submitted as soon as possible. Your adjuster will add all documentation into your report so that it may be reviewed and resolved as quickly as possible. In addition, your adjuster will want an opportunity to inspect and appraise all damaged property before its repair, even if that means simply obtaining photos and an estimate of the necessary repairs.
Finally, with any damage or loss, you’ll want to receive the coverage you paid for! If you claim is covered, your adjuster should process the payment as soon as the completed report is approved. From there, you can get back on the water!
