Lodging your claim has been made very easy by all insurers these days and can be done via web sites, phone call or email.
Some of the websites are automated and will search for your policy details before your are able to continue with the claim. Others are simply a notification and the insurer will contact you to get details. Emails should be answered the next business day.
But our view is that the best way is by phone. Most insurers have extended office or 24/7 phone contact and by speaking with staff you are able to relay the information they need and have emergency assistance arranged if needed.
