Claimant Info
Full legal name, contact phone and email, mailing address, policy number, and preferred contact method for adjuster follow-up.

Using a standard app ensures required fields are captured, attachments are organized, and signatures are auditable. Electronic submission supported by lawful eSignature frameworks (ESIGN, UETA) preserves enforceability while shortening turnaround compared with paper workflows.
