Katrina Insurance Claim Information

There are a series of steps one must take to submit an insurance claim in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The first thing one must do is contact his or her insurance company and let them know of the claim. The insurance company may be able to provide immediate financial assistance to cover living expenses that are typically provided for under homeowner’s policies.

It is important for victims to cooperate with their insurers and work together in completing any claim forms and proof of loss forms that may be required. It is absolutely imperative for the insurance company to be able to contact their policyholders so that they can communicate effectively during this time of crisis. This can be accomplished by providing the insurance company with a phone number and address of where one is staying in the interim.

When disputes arise between insurance companies and their policyholders, the state insurance department can be contacted for assistance. Additionally, insurance attorneys can help victims fight for the compensation they are entitled to. People whose homes have been damaged should document the state of the property by taking photos or video of damages. Permanent repairs should not be done until the claim is settled with the insurance company.
