What information should you gather before filing a commercial claim?

Before contacting Chubb, gather the details that allow an adjuster to move quickly. Have your policy number ready. Note the date, time, and location of the loss. Write a clear description of what happened and document the damage with photos or video. For business property losses, take reasonable steps to prevent further damage and keep an inventory of affected equipment, stock, or records along with receipts for emergency repairs. Knowing your deductible before the claim is filed helps the business understand what it pays before coverage applies.

How should a business document a business interruption loss?

If the loss disrupts operations, start tracking lost income and extra expenses from the first day. Business interruption coverage reimburses revenue the business cannot earn while operations are suspended, but it requires documentation to support the calculation. Keep daily records of reduced revenue compared to the same period in a prior year, log all extra expenses incurred to maintain partial operations, and save invoices for temporary facilities or equipment rentals. The stronger the documentation from the start, the smoother the business interruption portion of the claim. Learn how claims-made vs. occurrence policy forms affect when a commercial loss must be reported.

For example, a Georgia retailer whose store flooded after a burst pipe kept daily sales records for the two weeks the store was closed and tracked $8,400 in lost revenue. Those records, combined with receipts for water extraction and temporary storage, supported both the property and business interruption portions of the Chubb claim and resulted in a faster resolution.

What happens after a Chubb commercial claim is filed?

Chubb assigns an adjuster who reviews the claim, may inspect the loss site, and works toward a resolution. For larger commercial claims, the process can involve additional documentation requests, engineering assessments for structural damage, or independent appraisals for high-value equipment. The adjuster’s role is to verify the loss and apply the policy terms. For complex claims, an independent agent involved from the start can verify the policy is applied correctly and that no covered expense is missed. See how an independent agent’s role differs from the carrier’s during a commercial claim.

Can Olive Cover help manage a Chubb commercial claim?

Yes. Because Olive Cover placed the coverage, the team can help open the claim, explain policy terms, track the claim timeline, and escalate if the process stalls. Having an agent involved does not slow the claim; it adds a layer of oversight to help the process move correctly.

For example, a Georgia business suffered water damage to its warehouse and lost several days of operations. The business reported the claim that morning, documented damaged inventory, and tracked lost revenue, which supported both the property and business interruption portions of the claim.
