How Does Liberty Mutual Handle Roof Claims?
You’ve probably seen the Liberty Mutual commercials with Doug and LiMu Emu. If not, let’s just say they are considered quirky and eye-catching. But what does that have to do with how Liberty Mutual handles roof claims? Nothing.
As with other insurance carriers, Liberty Mutual wants their customers to go to their website to file a claim. Their claims link is on their homepage. On the Let’s begin filing your claim page they do offer a FAQ option, to give you some advice before you move forward. They pose the question, “Should I file a claim?” The questions cover the gamut”
- Will this affect my premium?
- Am I covered for this?
- What’s my deductible?
- Do I need a police report?
- What information do I need in order to file?
- What if I’m not at fault?
- What is the claims process like, and how long will it take?
- Do I have to file a claim?
Some policy holders will feel that the responses provided are adequate, others may not. The responses are pretty general and may leave you feeling like you’d prefer specifics. You can dig further online by signing in and reviewing your policy specifics.
Unlike other insurance carriers we’ve reviewed earlier, Liberty Mutual does not suggest you call their claims department. In fact, they list numbers to obtain a quote, and for roadside assistance, but not for the claims department.
There will come a time when everyone is connected, by computer or phone and adept at managing their lives online. Clearly, not everyone is there yet. Besides, after a traumatic event, like a major storm that takes out a significant portion of your roof, you might want the plain old comfort of talking to a real person. Remember those days?
After following numerous links, all suggesting that the best, fastest, most efficient way to file a claim is to create an account and do it online, you’ll eventually turn up a page that mentions customer support.
Be prepared for more suggestions about filing online or through a mobile app, but keep scrolling down to FAQ’s and you’ll find the following from their site:
