Filing a Claim with Travelers
To file a claim with Travelers Insurance, you can visit the online claim center or call 1-800-Claim33. Because Travelers Insurance is a large company, they have a procedure in place for handling claims and generally begin the process quickly. However, some people have reported that although they spoke with an adjuster in a timely manner, they did not get what they considered an adequate settlement.
Although they are known to be reasonable, they still do try to resolve claims with as little expense as possible. If you file a claim and receive an offer that is too low, you may want to discuss the matter with an attorney. The first offer may be too low and the company may negotiate a higher settlement once you get your attorney involved.
Negotiating with Travelers Insurance
Many customers do not realize that they can decline a settlement offer from an insurance company. In fact, if you cash the check, you typically agree that you will not take any further action in regards to the claim. Therefore, do not accept an offer that is too low and do not cash the check if one is provided.
As with many other insurance companies, Travelers Insurance usually prefers to settle claim disputes out of court. Only a small fraction of claims with Travelers end up in front of a judge or jury. While they prefer not to go to trial, they still do put up a fight when negotiating a settlement. For this reason, it is best to have an experienced litigation attorney handle your claim. You will usually come out with a much better settlement that way.
