Agents, make sure your insureds are aware of this information, and more importantly, that they understand it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most insureds don\u2019t have claims very often, so it\u2019s unlikely they understand the flow of claims from start to finish. However, if and when a claim does occur, it\u2019s imperative agents and their insureds know the steps to take and when \u2014 especially because many steps are time-sensitive, and research shows\u00a0the longer a claim is open, the more costly it becomes.<\/p>\n

Agents should review and file this information so it is easily accessible when a loss occurs.<\/p>\n
