Understanding the Commercial Insurance Claims Process
Commercial claims can be a complicated business, with Insurance companies having a vested interest in paying out as little as possible. When you file a claim, the insurance company’s first reaction will be to send their adjuster to evaluate the damage. Unlike an independent adjuster, their adjuster won’t have your best interests in mind.
Generally speaking, the insurance company will follow these steps:
- Adjudication: First, proof of loss documentation must be submitted to your insurance company. Your insurance will use company adjusters to assess your property and gather evidence. During this phase, it’s crucial that you have an independent adjuster to defend your interests.
- Submission: After evidence has been gathered, the next step is to file insurance claims. The submission process can take some time, and you will see better results if you hire a public adjuster to help. If you haven’t heard back within 30 days, then you will likely need to send further proof-of-loss documentation to your insurance company.
- Payment: If your claim successfully results in a settlement, you’ll can expect to see your payment within a few days to a few weeks. Insurance claims on the lower end will take less time to process, while claims that have been altered during the process can take up to 6 weeks.
To make the most of this process, you should consider hiring a public adjuster. That’s where Excel Adjusters comes in. We offer:
