Dealing with a loss to your property can take its toll. The last thing you want is a long, drawn-out process to file and resolve claims. Fortunately, you don’t have to with Opus Re. Our dedicated and experienced team will work tirelessly to make sure your claim goes from submitted to resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Ways to Mitigate Damage:
The first step to recovering your loss is to file a claim. Simply contact the office and speak to the dedicated claims team
What’s Next? Information Gathering.
Once you submit a claim, you will be assigned a dedicated Claim Representative who will make every reasonable effort to contact you within 12 hours. We understand that no two properties or personal items are alike, so be sure to provide as many details as you can. The more information we have about your loss, the better able we will be to adjust your claim. Although we manage multiple claims every year, we treat each client the way we would want to be treated, with the same individualized care and attention.
You may be asked to obtain a repair estimate from a local contractor. If an onsite inspection is needed, we will work with you to coordinate a time that is convenient for all. If you need assistance getting a repair estimate, we can help arrange for one of the insurers preferred contractor resources to provide one for you. Whether you engage your preferred contractor or one of the insurers, we will review your estimate and come to an agreed price with the insurer & contractor. If at any time you have concerns about your estimate, we’ll work with your contractor to ensure you are fairly compensated for your covered damages. Additionally, if there are any changes to the initial scope of covered work or contractor costs – again, we’ll treat you fairly.
Starting Your Repairs.
If you have covered water or fire damage to your property, Insurers can arrange for one of their trusted service providers to immediately respond to help minimize damages and prepare your premises before any repairs begin. Once any immediate or ongoing damage is under control, it’s time to begin the repair process. Depending on what you’re more comfortable with, you may use your own contractor or find one from a trusted network. The choice is always yours.
Life doesn’t slow down for anything. And when you’re a Opus Re policyholder, it doesn’t have to. If it’s determined that the covered damage to your property makes it uninhabitable or you have extensive damage to your belongings resulting from your covered loss, we can negotiate payment in advance to cover temporary living expenses, clothing and other immediate needs.
The time it takes us to guide you through a claim depends upon a number of factors, including how quickly we receive documentation, whether an inspection is needed to fully assess damages or if additional investigation is required.
In every instance, our goal is to keep you apprised along the way and to provide you with prompt, efficient and skilled claims service. If a claim is covered and resolved, we make every effort to negotiate claim payment within 48 hours. After all, we know we’re not just restoring properties and possessions, we’re restoring people’s lives.
Opus Re is committed to fast and fair claim resolutions.
