Insurance Process Breakdown
Initial Assessment
Our industry affiliate will do a property assessment to determine the extent of the damage resulting from the incident in question. He or she will advise you on whether the observed damage justifies initiating an insurance claim. This initial meeting will also give our affiliate the opportunity to introduce you to their company and explain what they can offer that is relevant to your situation.
File Claim
Filing the insurance claim usually take about 10-15 minutes and our affiliate can assist you with this process. Most of the time the claim is filed over the phone, but some insurance carriers have made it convienient to file through a mobile app.
Adjustment
Once the claim is filed, your insurance carrier should reach out to you within 24-48 hours. When the meeting is schedued, notify your OHM representative so they can be on site during the adjustment. Being present allows your representative to ensure all affected areas of your property are documented by your insurance adjuster.
Claim Document Review & Contract
Your representative will review and explain the claim specifics and describe the payment structure, as well as what to expect based off of your carriers initial estimate. If you appreciate the expertise and service provided by your representative, sign the contract to schedule your repairs.
Downpayment (ACV Check)

Supplements

This ensures a swift negotiation process.
