An insurance claim is a request made by a policyholder to their insurance company to receive payment or compensation for a loss or damage that is covered under their insurance policy. An insurance claim is usually made when an unexpected event occurs that causes damage to the policyholder's property, such as a car accident, fire, or theft. When the policyholder files a claim, the insurance company investigates the incident and determines the amount of compensation that the policyholder is entitled to receive according to the terms of their policy.

An insurance claim can involve many steps, including providing documentation and evidence of the loss or damage, working with an insurance adjuster, and negotiating a settlement with the insurance company. The types of compensation that can be provided through an insurance claim may include repairs, replacement, or reimbursement for expenses incurred due to the loss or damage.

It's important to note that insurance claims are subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, and not all losses or damages may be covered under the policy. Additionally, filing frequent or large insurance claims may lead to higher insurance premiums in the future.
