Frequently Asked Claims Questions for those with AAA Insurance

  • Review the estimate with your chosen contractor to ensure the full scope of the repair process is understood.
  • If you would like to make any or all the repairs yourself, please contact us.

As the property owner, it is your responsibility to select and hire a contractor. If you do not have a preferred contractor, your claims representative may be able to provide some names and contact information to assist you. Remember, the choice of contractors is always yours.

Contact the claims representative prior to any repair work beginning. They will review the differences in the estimate and, whenever possible, work to reach an agreement with your contractor.

It is the cost to repair or replace the damaged item(s) with an item or items of like kind and quality, without deduction for depreciation.

It is the cost to replace an item with like kind and quality, less depreciation. Depreciation is a decrease in the value of an item due to its age and/or condition.

  • If there is coverage for your loss, full reimbursement may be made in two or more payments. The first check will pay the Actual Cash Value of the damaged property, less any applicable deductible. You will receive a copy of the estimate, which details the Replacement Cost amount, depreciation and Actual Cash Value of the loss.
  • If your policy has Replacement Cost Coverage, you can claim the depreciation amount when repairs are completed. To receive payment for depreciation, you need to submit an itemized invoice for the completed repairs. AAA will reimburse the depreciation that was withheld or the actual cost of repairs, less the initial payment and deductible, whichever is less.

  • Your insurance policy requires that the mortgage holder be included on the payment as payee. Because they hold the mortgage for your property, they do have a legal interest in what happens to it.
  • You should contact your mortgage holder for information about endorsing the check and releasing funds to you for repairs.

Your policy may provide coverage for increased living expenses during repairs. Your claims representative can explain available coverage and can assist you in minimizing your loss.

Beware of Fraud

The aftermath of a hurricane creates an opportunity for scammers and unlicensed contractors to take advantage of those who need help. AAA cautions residents about the potential of contractor fraud and offers these tips to help avoid it.

  • Before hiring someone to make repairs, contact your insurance company to file your claim and ensure the damage is covered by your policy.
  • Get itemized written estimates from at least three different licensed, insured contractors.
  • Before you sign any paperwork and before a contractor starts work, allow your insurance company to come out and inspect the damage first.
  • Work only with licensed and insured contractors and check their credentials. Do not allow a contractor to inspect your property, including your roof, until you have verified that they are licensed and insured. You can verify that they have an active, valid state license. Also, check for complaints filed against them on the Better Business Bureau’s website.

Visit the National Insurance Crime Bureau for additional tips and valuable resources to protect yourself from being victimized a second time by Hurricane Milton.

Dealing with Flood-Damaged Vehicles

When a car has been partially or completely submerged:

  • Do not attempt to start a vehicle if the water level rose above the door opening and the interior of the car is wet. Doing so could cause major problems if flood water has contaminated the engine oil or other vehicle fluids.
  • Take photos from the exterior of the vehicle. Do not open the doors if the water levels are still high.
  • Once the waters have receded, take photos of the interior.
  • Contact your insurance provider.
