After a notice of loss, what must an insured file if forms are not provided by the insurer?

In the event of a notice of loss, if the insurer has not provided the necessary forms, the insured is still responsible for submitting a Written Proof of Loss. This documentation is critical as it serves to officially inform the insurer about the details surrounding the loss, including the nature of the loss, the extent of the damages, and any relevant information needed to evaluate the claim.

Written Proof of Loss typically includes essential elements such as dates, the circumstances of the loss, and any other information that would assist the insurer in processing the claim. The requirement to file this documentation is often outlined in the insurance policy itself, emphasizing its importance in the claims process.

This procedure ensures that the claims process can continue moving forward, even when there might be delays or issues with the insurer providing the official forms. By submitting a Written Proof of Loss, the insured fulfills their obligation to report the claim properly and expedites the process of claim resolution.
