Insurance Claim Complete
I think that I have finished all of my insurance claim paperwork. Never filed on before in my life, anyone have any idea how long it usually takes for it to be settled? I'd love to have a new front door.

Mine took about 2 weeks. Of course there was no damage just tools stolen.
We had our front door broken but they couldn't get in. Kids!!! (our neighbor saw them) Don't remember how long it took to get paid but State Farm paid for a new door and even gave my hubby money for installing it. Sorry for your trouble. I hope they catch the rat-ba$tard.
Took about 3 weeks to get our check in the mail when the roof leaked. Of course a week of that was playing phone tag with the insurance guy.
Jeff, good to know. Thanks.
Karen, bastards!
Anonymous, good to know as well. Thank you.
Good luck. we didn't get an adjuster out for about a month, but that was back in April with the hail storm; Ft. Smith was a certified "disaster area," with something like 30,000 roofs to assess, so surely yours will take less time.
I don't like the term blessings in disguise, though things do sometimes work out well in the end. But at least you have insurance-- I know a lot of people who don't, and I think they are insane.
I am a claims adjuster and generally the more the insured follows up, the faster it gets taken care of. The old "Squeeky wheel" adage is true. I am sorry to hear this happened. If you need any help just ask :) it's frustrating I know.
OH! And in regards to the payment etc. Make sure you document how old your door is, the hardware etc. And make sure that you document every bit of the items stolen. Even if it was just a "box of nails" If it was stolen...note it....
Amalie,thanks. Supposedly, the check is in the mail as I write this. That means that it took them about 1 week to settle the claim from the day I sent in the last of the paperwork. Not too bad, eh?
CAthrine, thanks! Our insurance company has been very responsive, so it seems to have gone pretty well so far. Thanks for the offer and tips.
