Insurance Claim Assistance

A C.L.U.E. Report, which stands for Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange, is an essential record utilized by insurance companies to track homeowner insurance claims on a property for the past 3–7 years. Insurers carefully review this report when determining premiums, eligibility, and renewals. Since every incident of insurance claims can be recorded in the report, homeowners should be cautious before filing a claim to avoid unnecessary premium increases or issues with coverage.

Key things to know before filing a claim:

- No damage claim – If an adjuster assesses the situation and finds no damage, the claim can still show up on your comprehensive loss underwriting exchange record.

- Damage below your deductible – Filing a claim that does not exceed your deductible may result in no payout; however, it can still impact your claim history.

- Pre-existing damage – It's important to note that insurance does not cover damage that occurred prior to the policy period or any storm event.

- Claims affect future premiums – A history of multiple claims can lead to increased rates or even potential non-renewal of your policy.

By understanding your claim situation before proceeding, you can help protect your C.L.U.E. report and ensure your homeowner insurance premiums remain more stable.
