JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fidelity
National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a leading provider of title
insurance, specialty insurance and claims management services
through a portfolio of companies, today provided information for
its flood insurance customers affected by recent flooding in the
Midwest portion of the United States. If you carry flood insurance:
Homeowners who have been flooded and carry flood insurance should
immediately contact their flood insurance carrier and provide basic
information regarding contact phone numbers, the date of the
flooding, and estimate the level of water that damaged their
property. Claimants will receive a claim identification number and
the name and phone number of their adjusting company, as well as
instructions regarding future contact by a flood claims adjuster
who will want to view the damage to the property. Flooded
homeowners throughout the Midwest who hold flood insurance policies
with Fidelity National Property and Casualty Company are urged to
call Fidelity to register a claim, 24 hours a day, at
1-800-725-9472, or to call their Fidelity flood insurance agent.
"This is exactly the type of storm event that federal flood
insurance has been designed to cover, and helping our flooded
policyholders to begin the process of getting back to normal is our
goal," said Patty Templeton-Jones, Vice President of Fidelity
National Property and Casualty. After filing your flood insurance
claim: To facilitate the claims review process, policy holders
should take pictures of flood damaged property including a "water
line" on the wall to document the flood water level reached in each
room of the flooded building. Clean up and removal of wet floor
coverings can begin before the adjuster arrives, as long as a one
square foot sample of the floor coverings in each room is saved for
inspection by the adjuster. Other damaged property should be
retained until viewed by the claims adjuster. "Federal flood
insurance is available to every homeowner regardless of their flood
risk. An average flood insurance policy might be only $400 and
could prevent the financial damage that might linger long after
flood waters have receded," continued Patty Templeton-Jones.
