To strengthen your claim you can keep a record of the following:

• Photos or videos of the rooms in your house (Provide a visual of the items in the room before the accident)

• Photos of serial and model numbers, if possible

• Receipts of purchased items (As they list when and where you purchased the item)

​

This process may seem tedious, but it serves as further proof and protection for your items. Claims don't wait until you had the time to make a detailed list, get it done before it's too late. Now is a good time to speak with your insurance provider and figure out what exactly are the basis of the claim settlements. You don't want to find out your insurance doesn't cover certain items and be left surprised with less money to cover your valuables. Determine the value of your items, so you can know what is the right insurance to cover said items. To help determine the value of your items it is essential you learn about replacement cost vs. actual cash value, as the two often get mistaken for one another.
