Insuranceopedia Explains Statement Of Claim

A statement of claim typically includes details such as the policyholder’s name, the type of insurance, the policy’s start date, and the cause of the loss. Once the statement of claim is submitted, the insurer reviews it to ensure its legitimacy and verify that the loss is covered under the policy. If approved, the insurance company will compensate the policyholder for the loss. Providing false information in a claim constitutes insurance fraud, which is a criminal offense.
