Is the loss over the $5,000 deductible? The State has a $500,000 deductible Fill out the Property/Crime Loss Form (found on the State Risk web page) Send all supporting documents (photos, price quotes, police reports)
Once the loss is received, an action form with a claim number will be generated and sent back to the reporting agency within 5 business days The action form is for your records as a receipt of filing a property loss with our office You will be contacted by one of our insurance adjusters to obtain more information about the loss In some cases, the adjuster will schedule a walkthrough of the damaged property
It is the responsibility of the reporting agency to take the necessary steps in order to prevent any further damages from occurring The mitigation efforts and costs associated with the loss will be taken into account when assessing the final costs of the claim
In instances where there are multiple losses to state owned property from a single event (i.e. hail storm, tornado, etc.), the $5000 deductible will be split amongst the reporting agencies depending on their percentage of the total loss.
Any delays in reporting a property loss can jeopardize the adjusting process as well as the final payment of the claim Do not delay the reporting of a claim while waiting for an estimate of repairs or replacement Damaged property will only be repaired or replaced to like kind and quality We do not pay for upgrades to damaged or stolen property
I review all the Emergency Project Requests for potential insurance claim coverage If you file a Emergency Project Request please call or me about a potential insurance claim Reimbursement will go to the Office of the State Architect if the agency is using the EM funding
