Hurricane Season Claims Prep
As the 2025 hurricane season picks up, we want to ensure you are prepared and informed in the event that severe weather affects you or your clients' areas. Orchid Insurance is here to support you and is available for any questions or concerns you may have regarding new claims or the status of existing claims.
Claims should be submitted directly to the insurance carrier, who will then assign a claim number and an adjuster. Once we receive this information from the carrier, we will forward a copy of the acknowledgement to the agency on file.
Please save a recent copy of the Claims Information in case you lose power and/or internet services during a storm. The claims filing information can be found in the policy itself, which provides toll-free numbers that anyone can use to report a claim.
As a reminder, review all Orchid policies with your insureds and make any changes ahead of storm season. Please note, the settlement of a claim can be delayed due to the policy not reflecting accurate information, such as:
​
-
Insured Name(s)
-
Mailing Address
-
Mortgagees, Etc.
​
We recommend having plenty of printed ACORD Notice of Loss Forms or using a standard memo of loss that contains all relevant information that our carriers need to process the claims as efficiently as possible.
