7. |
I have had a previous claim. Do I qualify for coverage? |
|
|
Not necessarily. We will have to forward your application to the insurer for
their review, but are unable to bind coverage. Previous claims are reviewed on
a case-by-case basis. In some situation, if coverage is issued a surcharge may
apply. We strongly recommend that those individuals with previous claims stay
with their current carrier. |
