3 1. REPORT THE INCIDENT TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY. If something happens on community grounds that causes an injury or damage, report it as soon as possible. Reach out to your insurance agent; they're the contact person assigned to your policy. You may either work with the agent or a dedicated claims manager to complete your incident report. When reporting the incident, try to include as many details as possible, such as: • The date and time it occurred • The location of the incident • A thorough description of what happened • Photos and video footage of the damage • Witness statements and contact information Then, get the agent's professional opinion. Discuss the best way to proceed with the claim, as your deductible and level of coverage will influence payment. Finally, don't forget to take action to prevent additional damage. The insurance company may want to see proof that you're making efforts to keep the incident from worsening. 7 6 5 4 8 9 10 11 3 2
