Liability Losses / Claims Procedures
Any loss or claim which may involve the protection afforded by your insurance program should be reported promptly to James R. Favor & Company. Prompt reporting often prevents minor claims from becoming major problems. Failure to report claims promptly violates the conditions of your insurance policy and could result in the insurance company being relieved of responsibility for payment of an otherwise valid claim.
While a telephone call will begin the claim service process, written reports are also necessary and should be forwarded as soon as possible. Once the initial report is received, claims adjustors from the nearest office of the insurance company or independent adjustors from your local community will be assigned as necessary.
Emergency medical treatment for injured persons
As necessary, secure appropriate emergency medical attention for any or all injured persons.
Do not admit liability, accept responsibility, or make public statements
Your insurance policy requires/provides that no one shall, except at their
own expense, make any payment, assume obligations, or incur any expense other
than for First Aid. Only the insurance company has the authority to accept
responsbility, make payments, repair damages, defend or otherwise settle a claim
under the policy.
Important! Record first impressions and witness information promptly
As soon as practical, record first impressions or reports of what happened.
Make careful note of Names and Current/Home Contacts for all persons involved
and witnesses.
Report claims promptly

Notify the Triangle National
Headquarters and prepare a written report
Notify your officers immediately. Prepare and submit a written claim report
as soon as possible. For completeness, accuracy, speed, and convenience in

following information:
- Date, Time, Location and Circumstances of Accident

- Description of Claim Event
- Follow-up Information or Actions (e.g., Medical Treatment or Condition of
