An insurance claim is a formal request to your insurance provider for reimbursement or coverage against losses covered under your insurance policy.
Insurance is a financial agreement between you and your insurer. You pay a fixed premium, and in exchange, the insurer provides financial protection for specific losses as outlined in your policy terms.
When an event covered by your policy occurs such as an accident, theft, or damage you file a claim to notify the insurer and request the agreed-upon coverage or payout.
