Don't let phone calls scare you. When you're on the line with your insurance company, it's showtime. Be ready to answer their questions, like when the damage happened and what caused it. Keep it real, and they'll be more likely to help you out.

Step 3: Get the Facts Ready - It's All About the Proof

Now, here's where the paper trail starts. You're going to need evidence to back up your claim. Take a ton of pictures of the damage – the more, the better. And keep all the receipts and documents you get during the repair process.
