Mercury Insurance Group Toll-Free Claims Hotline: 800-987-6000
CLEARWATER, Fla., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury Insurance Group
policyholders with questions regarding their coverage for damage caused by
Hurricane Charley should call Mercury's toll-free claims hotline,
800-987-6000.
The Insurance Information Institute (http://www.iii.org) suggests tips to help
assist the claims process, including:
* Be prepared to give your agent or insurance representative a
description of your damage. Your agent will report the loss
immediately to your insurance company or to a qualified adjuster who
will contact you as soon as possible to inspect the damage. Give your
agent a telephone number where you can be reached.
* Take photos of the damaged areas. These will help with your claims
process and will assist the adjuster in the investigation.
* Prepare a detailed inventory of all damaged or destroyed personal
property. Be sure to make two copies -- one for yourself and one for
the adjuster. Your list should be as complete as possible: a
description of the items, dates of purchase or approximate age, cost
at time of purchase and estimated replacement cost.
* Collect cancelled checks, invoices, receipts or other papers that will
assist the adjuster in obtaining the value of the destroyed property.
* Secure a detailed estimate for permanent repairs to your home from a
reliable contractor and give it to the adjuster. The estimate should
contain the proposed repairs, repair costs and replacement prices.
