Quick & EZ Insurance does not handle claims in‑house

Claims must be reported directly to your insurance carrier. We’re here to help you locate carrier contact information and answer questions — not to process, adjust, or submit the claim on your behalf.

Quick takeaway

Report the loss directly to your carrier as soon as reasonably possible. Have your policy number, details of the loss, and any documentation ready, and follow the carrier’s instructions.

Important: how claims work

Insurance carriers are responsible for handling, investigating, and resolving claims. The agency’s role is to help you stay informed, locate your carrier’s claims contact information, and connect you with the right resources. Quick & EZ Insurance does not process, adjust, manage, submit, or handle claims in‑house.

First steps after a loss

  • Take care of immediate safety: people first, then property
  • Call emergency services if anyone is hurt or the situation is dangerous
  • Prevent further damage where reasonably safe to do so
  • Contact your insurance carrier directly to report the loss
  • Follow the carrier’s instructions for next steps

Information to have ready

Most carriers will ask for

  • Your policy number (declarations page, ID card, or insurer app)
  • Date, time, and location of the loss
  • Brief description of what happened
  • Names and contact info for anyone involved or witnessed
  • Photos or video of the damage, if available
  • Police, fire, or incident report numbers, if applicable

Documenting the loss

Photos, videos, and a short written description go a long way. Save receipts for any out‑of‑pocket expenses (e.g., temporary tarps after a roof leak), and keep copies of any reports or communications.

Follow your carrier’s instructions

Your carrier will explain the next steps — assigning an adjuster, scheduling an inspection, recommending vendors, or requesting documentation. Following those steps and responding promptly tends to keep the process moving smoothly.
