Claims-Frequently Asked Questions
A deductible is the portion of the claim that you are financially responsible for. In other words, it is your financial contribution toward repairs required as a result of a covered loss.
The mortgage company is listed on the building payment because they have a financial interest in your home. Your insurance policy is a contract that requires us to include your mortgage company’s name on any settlement check involving the building or other structure. Contact your mortgage company to determine what their requirements are for securing their endorsement.
Occasionally, another person may be responsible for the damage to your property. If so, we may seek reimbursement from that other person or that person’s insurance carrier. Our pursuit of reimbursement is referred to as “subrogation.” We may need your cooperation with this effort. If there is a recovery, you may receive reimbursement for some or all of your deductible.

We understand that having your claim denied is not the outcome you were expecting, or you wouldn’t have filed the claim in the first place. We do our best to treat all our Policyholders fairly and we try to provide a clear and detailed explanation any time we must deny a claim. That said, nobody is perfect. If we made a mistake and adjusted your claim unfairly, we’d like a chance to make it right, which is why Farmers of Salem maintains an internal appeals panel consisting of multiple individuals who do not work for the claims department. This panel has the authority to overrule the claims decision if they find it to be unfair or improper. If you do not agree with our evaluation of your claim, you may have the Panel review it by submitting a written request.
