W K Webster will determine whether or not to send a field adjuster or whether the claim can be reviewed on a documents only basis.
Once W K Webster have completed their investigation, a settlement decision will be made. W K Webster reserve the right to submit the claim to Insurers for further review if deemed necessary.
Once the settlement offer has been agreed, W K Webster will request a completed and signed Release Agreement from the tenant (this will act as the proof of loss) showing the agreed settlement/adjustment. Claims will be settled by either check or wire transfer per the insured’s instructions. Do not obtain this until settlement has been reached with the carrier.
Once the Release Agreement has been received by W K Webster, claim payment will be arranged.
