Homeowners Insurance?
How long after the accident do you have to record a claim? I'd appreciate if you knew the answer to State Farm's Homeowners policy, but any will do. Thanks.

Best bet is to look at your policy beneath a section called "policy conditions". If you don't hold a copy of your policy your agent should be your next step.. If he's not helpful contact your state's Insurance Commissioner's department. They should be able to tell you what your state's law are, due to the fact that every state's insurance laws are different.
Call your agent and ask. It's usually 30-60 days.
The policy wording say "reasonable time". Clearly, a month would be ok - two years, well, the longer it is, the closer they look at the claim to see if it's valid.
But if it's more than a week or so, they're going to ask you why you wait. Source(s): agent, 21+ years, my personal homeowners is with State Farm
It will be surrounded by your policy if you will open it up and read it. Or you could pick up the phone and call State Farm.
It depends on the state you live surrounded by, the law varies from state to state. You can travel through your policy, but if you call your agent or the insurance company they won't be very supportive.
2 yrs for injury and 1 year for property damage.
Most of the time the policy is worded vaguely within this area. In 20+ years of handling claims (including 3.5 yrs at St. Farm) I don't ever recall denying a claim because somebody took too long to report it.
With that man said, you do run a risk of having your claim reduced for taking too long to report the claim if the house itself has received some caring of physical damage.
The policy requires you to "mitigate" your damages and part of that is to say having the physical damages repaired in a timely deportment. I have reduced claims for people who reported a leaky roof 6 months after the wound occurred. During the 6 month gap the river leaking led to damages that would not enjoy occurred if they had reported the loss nearer.
If you haven't done so already report the claim now. Source(s): Claims adjuster for way too long.
