If your home was damaged due to hail, wind, or a tornado, contact your insurance company or agent to file a claim as soon as possible. These tips will help make the process go smoother:
Make a list of damaged property. Take pictures or video of the damage. Don't throw anything away until your insurance company tells you to.
Take steps to protect your home from further damage. Cover broken windows and holes in your roof if possible. Save all receipts. Your policy may cover these costs.
Try to be there when the insurance company comes to inspect the damage. If you can’t stay in your home, leave a note with information on where you can be reached.
Keep a list of everyone you talk to at your insurance company. Be ready to answer questions about the damage.
Ask about additional living expenses. If you can’t live in your home due to the damage, your insurance policy may pay for some of those expenses.
