What to Expect When Filing a Claim
Filing a claim with People’s Trust is designed to be as simple and efficient as possible. After reporting the accident, you will be assigned a dedicated claims adjuster who will be your primary point of contact throughout the process. This adjuster will guide you through the necessary steps, answer your questions, and ensure your claim progresses smoothly.
You’ll need to provide certain documentation, including police reports (if applicable), photos of the damage, and details of the accident. We’ll also need information about your vehicle, including the make, model, year, and VIN number. Our adjuster will be able to assist you in gathering any necessary information you may be missing.
Once we have received all the necessary documentation, we’ll arrange for an appraisal of the damage to your vehicle. This may involve taking your vehicle to an approved repair shop for an inspection. The appraisal will determine the extent of the damage and the cost of repairs or replacement.
After the appraisal is complete, we’ll work with you to negotiate a settlement. This will typically include compensation for vehicle repairs or replacement, medical expenses, lost wages, and other relevant losses. Our goal is to reach a fair and equitable settlement that satisfies all parties involved.
