To learn about how to report a claim visit our claims page.

1. Name and contact information of everyone involved in the loss;
2. Your policy information;
3. The type of loss you are reporting (auto, property, workers compensation, etc.);
4. When and how the loss occurred;
5. Description of any injuries or damages.

To make a claim, visit our Claims page.

You should file your claim as soon as possible. You will be able to add and update your information later.

You will receive confirmation that you’ve filed a claim with Embroker. And we will let you know if further information is needed. You will receive real-time updates about your claim via our Embroker portal. Commercial Auto or Commercial Property claims usually require a representative to examine the damage in person.

Time varies depending on the type of the loss, and how long it takes to investigate your claim.

After all the facts about the loss are reviewed, and it is determined that your loss is covered by your insurance policy, a check can be issued to cover damages as estimated by your claims professional.
Damaged property and vehicles usually require an in-person inspection. A check can be issued immediately or soon after the inspection.

Fiduciary Liability protects the company and employees from claims arising out mismanagement of Employee Benefit plans such as a 401(k).

Common types of EPL claims are: Wrongful termination discrimination and sexual harassment.

Employment Practices Liability provides coverage for the company and employees for claims brought against them alleging some type of violation of their legal rights as employees.

They typically fall into four categories:

• Claims brought by shareholders
• Claims brought by customers
• Claims brought by competitors
• Regulatory investigations

A retention is similar to a deductible. However, with a retention your company is responsible for the retention amount and the insurance carrier pays up to the full limit of insurance for any covered claim.

You can pay your invoices electronically from within your Embroker account. Just log in, head over to the “Payments” area in your dashboard, and select which invoice(s) you’d like to pay. 

From there, you can choose the credit card or ACH option, or you can set up financing to pay your premium in installments. 

You can also pay by check. Simply download your invoice and follow the remittance directions in the FAQ tab of the Payments dashboard. 

Transaction fees may apply and will be shown prior to payment. Embroker’s Terms apply.

Yes. When you click to pay electronically, premium financing via Ascend is an available option. This allows you to pay over time in monthly installments. You can view the financing terms online, get a copy of the premium finance agreement, pay the first deposit, and set up your recurring installment payments all in one place. 

Please review the terms and conditions carefully, as premium financing is similar to a short term loan. There is a down payment, installment schedule, annual percentage rates, and other fees that may apply.

All invoices are due immediately upon receipt. Failure to remit payment promptly may result in cancellation, refusal to issue a policy, or other action by the insurer.

If your new broker or agent isn’t an Embroker Access partner, you also may not be able to renew any Embroker proprietary insurance products.
