Travel Insurance covers personal accidents, medical expenses, air ambulance, loss of effects, repartition costs and all other expenses that may arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay or inconvenience occurring to the tourist. A policy contains details of the cover, conditions and exclusions relating to each insured person and is the basis on which all claims will be settled.

To make the claim for travel insurance, first of all read the policy details and small print carefully. Some travel insurance policies have an excess per item claimed for and some policies state a maximum value that any item can cost. Always keep your policy details safe and carry them with you when you go on holidays. A policy booklet will be required while filing for a travel insurance claim.

Renters do need renters insurance as homeowners insurance does not cover the renter’s property or possessions. Renters insurance covers your possessions against losses from fire, lightening, vandalism, theft, explosion, windstorm, water damage from plumbing etc. It also pays for the reasonable additional costs of temporarily living away from your home if you can’t live in it due to insured disaster. It covers hotel bills, temporary rentals, restaurant meals, and other expenses while your home is being rebuilt.

To file renter’s insurance claim, you need to follow the proper guidelines as given in the policy instructions. After any insured disaster, read your policy documents to know whether your losses are covered under the policy conditions. Once confirmed, note down the date, time of day, and detailed list and description of damages etc. It is required to contact your insurance agent or company and notify them about your loss as soon as possible. Collect and secure the canceled checks, bills, receipts, and other documents that you might need when an adjuster set a value on damaged property. Also, try to take photographs of the damaged property.

To make a successful claim, owner should carefully review the policy and understand what exactly is covered and what isn’t in the event of disaster. The Homeowners Insurance Claim process is completed in two steps i.e. filing your claim and then settling your claim. For filing a homeowner’s insurance claim, you need to report thefts, accidents, burglaries etc, to the local police. Make a contact with your insurance agent, report the loss and ask the agent for any additional information. Prevent the further loss by taking some preventive actions or steps like repairing of damaged glass windows, furniture etc during the incident.
