What are the basic steps involved in the claims process?
Each claim is unique, and therefore the claims handling process varies from claim to claim. However, there are several core steps that are involved after you report your claim to the agent. If you are involved in a situation where a claim must be filed, be aware that the insurance carrier will likely proceed through these steps before settling the claim. The length of time involved in each step can dramatically vary the length of time from reporting to settlement.
