CLAIMS

No matter how strong your safety and loss control program is, you will unfortunately encounter claims.  Accidents do happen and prompt, complete reporting is the first step towards a successful outcome.

When reporting a claim, be sure to have your policy number and/or location site code available.  Your policy number can be obtained from your Coverage Summary Book.  In the event you cannot locate this information please contact your Annual Conference Administrator for policy and site code information.

Reporting Tips

• When reporting claims, report them immediately – don’t delay.
• Collect as much information as possible regarding the loss such as contact name and phone number, name and address of the church or reporting location, parties involved, address, date and time, policy number, accident description and type of injury.
• Submit all police reports, estimates, photos and any materials/receipts.
• Do not speak with third parties about the claim and do not discuss “fault”.

 
If at all possible, complete a claim reporting form.  Please see the Related Files section below for links to the various forms (by coverage line) for your reporting use.

Note: For Workers’ Compensation contact your Conference Administrator for your proper state reporting form.
