Case Chronology For The Claimant

So you have an insurance claim, which means you are the “Claimant”, that you must report to the insurance company. What can you do?

In the ideal circumstance, you get treated for your injuries and your damages to the property are repaired. The insurance company evaluates your case, provides rapid and fair compensation, and pays for your treatments and repairs. Your time off work gets paid. Any future pain and suffering is compensated.   

How do you even get to that ideal?

  1. Report your claim immediately.

  2. Collect all your medical records related to the claim.

  3. If there is a possibility your treatments may be considered not related to the claim, collect prior medical records from your treating physicians that show no prior similar complaints

  4. Collect all the bills and payment records concerning your claim, including medical bills, property damage bills, and time off work documents.

  5. Sign all necessary documents so the claims representative can complete their investigation of the claim.

In that ideal situation, storing all that information in one location would be great. In that ideal situation, if you have someone with experience review the records so you can understand your claim, you may be able to understand the insurance claims representative. You may accept the offer by the claims representative for compensation and payment. While hiring an attorney may be helpful, you have avoided paying 35% of the total amount to the attorney.  

In that ideal scenario, Case Chronology Software provides a way to organize your records. You can give access to your documents to someone who can review your records and make recommendations. If you want, you can share your information (if you want) with the claims manager to discuss your perspective of the claim.
