Insurance Claim Timeline: What Georgia Homeowners Should Expect

Typical timelines for roof insurance claims in Georgia from initial filing to final settlement.

Understanding claim timelines helps Georgia homeowners plan effectively and identify delays.

## Day 1-2: Initial Filing

Contact your insurance company within 24-48 hours of discovering damage. Provide policy number, describe damage briefly, and request claim number. Schedule professional inspection immediately.

## Day 3-7: Adjuster Assignment and Inspection

Insurance companies typically assign adjusters within 3-5 days. Adjuster inspections are usually scheduled within 7 days of filing. Have your contractor present to ensure complete damage assessment.

## Day 8-14: Estimate Preparation

Adjusters typically provide initial estimates within 7-14 days of inspection. Review carefully with your contractor for completeness. If damage is missed, supplement filing begins.
