SAN BRUNO, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Allstate customers whose
homes or automobiles have been damaged or destroyed by Thursday's
explosion and fire in San Bruno,
CA can contact Allstate in three different ways:
- Report a claim online at www.Allstate.com
- Call Allstate at 1-800-547-8676
- Call or visit your local Allstate agent
In addition, Allstate has three fire recovery tips for
homeowners returning to their homes in impacted areas:
Review your policy for additional living expense
coverage. Customers who were ordered to leave their homes by
civil authorities or whose homes have become unlivable as a result
of Thursday's explosion and fire may be eligible for Additional
Living Expenses (ALE). Please check your homeowner policy to see
what coverage it provides. If you have any questions, please
contact Allstate as noted above.
Make necessary temporary repairs. Check your policy to
see if it provides reimbursement for temporary repairs that are
needed as a result of the fire to prevent further loss. Keep an
accurate, detailed record of temporary repair costs to submit to
your adjuster for possible reimbursement.
Create a home inventory. Unfortunately, fires can occur
at any time, so Allstate recommends homeowners always keep a home
inventory in a secure area off-site. This inventory can be made as
easily as photographing or videotaping each area of your home and
property. This home inventory can help facilitate the claim process
after incurring a loss. If you do not have a home inventory –
create one now by remembering as best as possible what was in each
room. The more accurate and detailed your list, the better able you
will be to assist the claim adjuster assigned to your claim.
