In this part of the online claim reporting process, we want you to identify the primary cause of the incident – that is, the direct event that caused the damage or injuries.
You must select the incident that most closely matches what happened to you.
Heads up! If your incident doesn’t fit any of the categories provided, you can select ‘Other’, or add the information about your claim under ‘Additional details’ at the end of the process. After you submit your claim, your Claims Professional will give you a call to ask more questions and go over any next steps with you.
