However in the unfortunate event that you do need to file a claim, the process gets completed in a few steps. Of course, individual cases will vary. The steps that form the claims process are:

1. Informing the concerned authorities like police, fire department about the accident/incident that has taken place.
   
   
2. Contacting your insurance provider and provide them important details.
   
   
3. The adjuster assigned to your case by the insurance company should contact you within 24 hours.
