What will happen if I have a claim?
- Prevent Further Damage
If your property has been damaged, for example, by a windstorm, a break-in or water in your basement, it’s important to take steps to prevent further damage. However, you should wait until you’ve spoken with your claims adjuster before cleaning up. I’s important to document damages by taking photos or videos. - Contact Us
Contact us as soon as possible to let us know what has happened. You can call 1-800-899-3093. - Communicate Details
We’ll process the details of your claim. We know that your situation is likely a stressful one, and we’re here to help and guide you through each step. - Review of the Claim
Before review, you’ll be asked to provide any supporting documentation you may have. Depending on the type of claim and the claims handler, we’ll notify you as to how long this review process should take. It’s important to note that part of the claims process is the investigation and coverage confirmation carried out by the Adjuster. - Clean Up, Repairs and Replacement
Your adjuster will let you know how to proceed with cleaning up, repairing and replacing your damaged property.

It’s important to read over your policy wording before starting a claim. If you have a MyWestland account, log in now and review your policy wording. Otherwise, please take a look at the documents we’ve provided to you when you bought your policy or made a change to your coverage – one of these will contain your policy details. Or contact us, and we’re happy to help you determine whether you should put in a claim.
Depending on the circumstances of the claim you may need to provide supporting documentation, such as receipts, photographs for damaged areas or even videos if possible. We’ll let you know exactly what you need as we work through the claims process.
This can vary based on the nature of the claim. Our goal is to process your claim as quickly as possible. To keep you updated on claim progress, we’ll touch base often, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
