Florida’s and Alabama’s Largest Insurer Responds to Hurricane Dennis
Bloomington, IL, July 11, 2005 – State Farm®, the largest insurer of homes and automobiles in Florida, Alabama and the nation, has mobilized 600 catastrophe claims adjusters to join Florida and Alabama employees, agents and agents’ staff who are already assisting customers recovering from Hurricane Dennis.
Hundreds of members of State Farm’s Catastrophe Team®, a group of specially trained claims adjusters are already en route to areas near the hurricane’s path. At this time, some claims are being handled in-person by local agents and claims personnel, and over the phone. In many cases, however, local emergency authorities are not allowing access to severely damaged areas because of safety concerns. Claims adjusters are ready to enter those neighborhoods when they are deemed safe.
Personal safety is paramount. Homeowners with damaged property should make sure it is safe to re-enter their property before attempting to assess damage. Once it is determined to be safe, homeowners should make temporary repairs to prevent further damage. Save receipts if you purchase items such as tarps and plywood or other supplies to make repairs.
To Report a Claim:
Policyholders residing in the damaged area should first try to contact their State Farm agent to report their claims. The policyholders’ information will then be provided to claims adjusters. Out-of-state policyholders should call their State Farm agent to report their claims.
