How Do I File a Claim with Safeco?
You can file a claim with Safeco using the company's online platform. If you're a Safeco customer, you'll need your login info for the website. For non-customers and insurance agents, you'll need the policyholder's name and policy number. Since the online platform prioritizes auto claims, you may need to call Safeco to file claims for other policies.
Safeco offers an online platform where you can file and track the status of your claim. The platform is open to Safeco customers as well as non-customers filing claims against or for policyholders.
Getting Started
To file a Safeco claim, follow these steps:
1. Go to Safeco's website.
2. Scroll down and look for "File a claim" on the right side of your screen (visible on desktop/laptop computers).
3. Select "File a claim," then check the dropdown menu (you'll be asked who you are and who you're filing a claim against, select the appropriate option for your situation).
For Safeco customers, you'll be asked to log into your account. For non-members, you'll need the policy number and last name of the Safeco member you're filing against. Insurance carriers filing on behalf of clients will need the same information.
What You'll Need
Beyond your account information or that of the Safeco customer, you'll need information regarding the nature of your claim:
- What happened
- The date of the incident
- An explanation of the damage caused
While Safeco offers a few types of insurance, their online claim platform prioritizes auto claims. To start a non-car insurance claim, you should call the company.
More Information
Filing an insurance claim can be a hassle. Here's some info to hopefully make the process easier:
- Have proof ready. Insurance companies want to avoid illegitimate claims, so having solid proof of the reported incident such as pictures may be helpful.
- Follow up. While most claims processes take time, you should contact Safeco if you haven't received an update on your claim in over 30 days.
