Prompt Notice of Claim: What Does It Mean and Why Is It Important?

Picture this – your home is damaged by a storm, but the damage is minor.   Maybe some hail damaged your fence, or you got “lucky” and the hurricane didn’t really hit your area; it just blew out a few screens on your pool enclosure.  You call a handyman and get it repaired for a few hundred dollars, which is well below your deductible, so no problem right?  You move on.
