After an accident or loss, the first priority is safety. Once everyone is safe, the next few steps can make the claims process clearer and easier to assess.

Record what happened as soon as practical. Note the date, time, location, people involved, and the sequence of events. Photographs, reports, receipts, and contact details can help build a complete record.

Notify your insurer promptly and share the information requested. A clear first report helps the claims team understand what happened, identify the next action, and keep communication moving.

A claim is a process, not a single moment. Keep copies of documents, respond to follow-up questions, and ask when you are unsure about what happens next.
