Our mutual goals are quick and fair settlement of your claim. Early
reporting of claims and other incidents makes this possible. Protecting
your coverage is also important. While all policies require prompt
reporting of incidents, liability policies are especially sensitive to
this issue. The insurers are entitled to notification so they have an
opportunity to mitigate the costs. If the insurer is denied this
opportunity by lack of notification, you could encounter unprotected costs
arising from the delay.
Many types of losses, such as routine automobile, general liability and
workers' compensation claims, benefit with faster and more accurate
settlements when reported directly to the carrier. With direct reporting,
you make fewer phone calls and receive the fastest possible response. If
you are already reporting claims directly to your carrier, we want to
encourage you to continue. If you are not reporting claims directly, we
want to suggest that you consider doing so to gain the benefits of direct
reporting for these claims.
More serious claims, especially those involving major property loss,
serious injuries or deaths, claims in litigation, or claims involving
specialty coverages (e.g., crime) are where RGIA assistance and advocacy
become critical. In these events, contact your Redmond General service
representative or agent so we can address your needs immediately.
Our staff at Redmond General Insurance Agency, Inc. is committed to
ensuring you receive unparalleled claims assistance from your insurance
carrier. Efficient and effective claims resolution is an important element
in achieving our service goal to you.
We represent a number of different insurance companies; some will
accept your claim report directly while others insist upon receiving the
report through our offices. Often your policy will contain specific
reporting instructions and phone numbers. For your convenience, here are
some of the more common carriers and their claims reporting phone numbers.
