FAQ
What claim types does this cover?
Common claim types like water damage, theft, fire, and auto accidents, each with a documentation checklist tailored to what adjusters typically ask for.
Why does the photo timing matter?
Photos taken before cleanup or repairs give adjusters clear evidence of the damage's extent — cleaning up first can make it harder to substantiate your claim.
Is this legal or insurance advice?
No — this is a general documentation checklist. Always follow your specific policy's requirements and your insurer's claim instructions.
