Theft Claims

Theft Claims can be Complicated

Despite the homeowner’s best attempts at avoiding theft, there are times when unwelcome visitors take possession of your belongings.

Theft Claims Strategies

The majority of strategies for dealing with a theft claim are similar to other losses. However, several factors set these claims apart and make them more time-consuming and complicated. The main reason these claims are harder to resolve is due to the high number of false claims. People turn to insurance companies to replace things they never owned in the first place. In response to this, insurance companies have made the claims process more stringent.

Police Reporting

It’s essential to file a police report regarding the theft as soon as possible. Insurance companies will use any official police documents to confirm the event took place.

Documentation & Proof

Most companies also require documentation to prove the value and ownership of the items in question. Proof for these items may include photos, receipts, appraisals, credit card statements, or insurance endorsements.

In cases of more significant losses, an examination under oath may be required if a substantial amount of documented proof is not available. A EUO is a formal proceeding where the policyholder is questioned by the insurance provider, under oath, with the presence of a court reporter.
