A home burglary is a difficult event to cope with, especially if you live in a safe area where you would never think a home invasion would occur. Whether you saw the robber or came home to a broken window and missing possessions, your initial instinct tells you to panic. However, it’s best to be proactive about the situation and take the necessary steps to try to cover your property. Nieroda Insurance Agency, serving Saint Charles, MO, and the surrounding area, has a few tips to help. <\/p>\n
Take an Inventory of Your Possessions<\/strong><\/p>\n If it’s not apparent as to everything that was stolen immediately, go through your home and take an inventory of everything that the thieves took. Make a list of these items to make the process of discussing the event with the police as easy as possible. <\/p>\n Contact the Local Police <\/strong><\/p>\n Next, contact your local police immediately after you determine what’s missing. Keep in mind; it’s hard to have a theft claim paid if there’s no evidence it happened, which is why it’s vital you call the police before you file a claim.<\/p>\n Contact Your Insurance Company<\/strong><\/p>\n After you speak to the police, you should call your insurance company to file a claim. They may need information from the police report. No matter how frustrated or upset you are, make sure you cooperate with the homeowner’s insurance company representative because they’re only asking you for necessary information to process your claim. You’ll receive forms you must fill out correctly and send back. Make sure you gather any receipts for the missing items or any bank or credit card statements that reflect the cost of the missing items. <\/p>\n Whether you need to file a home burglary claim with us or would like to open a policy, contact Nieroda Insurance Agency, serving Saint Charles, MO, and the surrounding area, by calling or visiting our offices for a quote.
