Documents and Procedures to Expect from the Adjuster
BY THE ADJUSTER
- The Accident Report, which is completed and signed first by you (the insured) and then by the adjuster.
- The Admissions Voucher (for use at the auto repair shop), and in which the damages caused by the accident are described. Both the adjuster and the insured must sign this document and the Original voucher is retained by the insured. (There is no voucher if the claim is for total theft or liability only).
- The adjuster should take Pictures and verify the Vehicle Identification Number (unless total theft).
- If the insured is required to present himself/herself at the Transit Police Station, the adjuster should accompany him/her.
- The adjuster should schedule a meeting for the insured at the Insurance company’s valuation centers or approved auto repair shop for damage assessment.
ON THE PART OF THE INSURED
(Depending on the type of accident / claim, these procedures may vary.)
- Provide the adjuster with all the info and details concerning the accident and write out a brief summary in the report.
- The adjuster will advise if it is necessary for the Insured to go to the Transit Police Station and/or release the vehicle (if impounded). If the Transit Police determine that the insured is not at fault, it may be necessary to file a claim with the ‘Ministerio Público’.
- Present all the Documentation requested by the adjuster, depending on the type of claim. (i.e. policy, license, vehicle registration, temporary import permit, proof of US residence, etc.).
- Go to the damage assessment meeting at the insurance company’s authorized repair shops.
- If necessary, pay the corresponding Deductible. The adjuster will advise the insured where and to whom the payment should be made. (Get a receipt!).
- It is your obligation to present your claim with HDI Seguros, S.A. de C.V. Obtain your report number from the insurance company’s call center and a claim report from the adjuster and/or the authorities before returning to the United States. Failure to comply with the above may result in denial of your claim.
- Damage evaluations will be made in Mexico not in the USA unless otherwise authorized in writing by the insurance company.
Nota – Some of these steps may vary depending on the type of accident.
