Guidance after an accident or loss

Need to Report an Insurance Claim?

  1. Protect people first. Call 911 when someone is injured, there is immediate danger, or emergency assistance is needed.
  2. Prevent additional damage when safely possible. Take reasonable temporary steps without putting yourself or others at risk.
  3. Document the event. Record relevant dates, locations, parties, photographs, receipts, and other available information.
  4. Contact the insurance carrier. Use the claim-reporting information shown in your policy documents or insurance card.
  5. Contact Bayshield if you need assistance. We can help direct you to the appropriate insurer contact and explain the general process.

Claim coverage, investigation, valuation, settlement, and payment decisions are made by the insurance carrier according to the applicable policy.

When Should You Request a Coverage Review?

Consider contacting Bayshield when something significant changes in your life, property, or business. Examples include:

  • Buying or selling a home, building, or vehicle
  • Renovating or improving a property
  • Adding a driver or household member
  • Purchasing valuable property or equipment
  • Starting or expanding a business
  • Hiring employees
  • Adding services, products, or locations
  • Signing a contract with insurance requirements
  • Changing how a property or vehicle is used
  • Approaching a policy renewal

A review does not automatically change your coverage. Any requested change remains subject to insurer approval and written confirmation.

Important Information About Service Requests

Submitting a message, email, voicemail, certificate request, or policy-change request does not create, bind, modify, extend, or cancel insurance coverage.

Do not assume a requested change is effective until it has been approved and confirmed by Bayshield or the insurance carrier in writing.

If a payment is due, a policy is scheduled to cancel, or you have another time-sensitive matter, contact the appropriate insurance carrier and Bayshield promptly.
