Thank you for registering your claim with Moving Claims We have received your information and must verify it with your service provider (Moving Company).
Please allow up to 7 BUSINESS DAYS for the completion of your verification. Once your registration is validated we will then contact you to gather further details.
The next correspondence you will receive from us will include a 6 page form titled the Claim Procedures Package, (CPP) which you will need to fill out and return to the address provided. The package itself is self-explanatory but our offices are open Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm EST, feel free to give us a call with any questions.
The package will request for you to validate your claims and provide supporting documents, such as a letter detailing all of the inconveniences incurred as well as any damage and/or loss, a copy of all documentation from your move, and photographs of the damaged items (if any). A lot of the information requested is only for us to better validate your claims and is not mandatory.
HOW TO CHECK THE PROGRESS / STATUS OF MY CLAIM?
If you wish to check the status of your case, PLEASE email us at: Support@MovingClaims.net. All claim correspondence will be made VIA EMAIL/MAIL. We may call you (If needed) for additional information or clarifications regarding your claim.
NOTE: We highly recommend that you add our email address: Support@MovingClaims.net to your contact list. It will ensure email delivery directly to your Inbox and not your spam folder.
WHAT IS THE TIME LIMIT TO FILE A CLAIM?
For interstate / International / Local California moves it is up to 9 months from the date of the delivery. For local and intrastate moves in all other states other than California, it depends on each state regulation. In most states, it is between 15-90 days from the date of the delivery.
Check with your carrier directly or on the back of your Bill of Lading, for your specific claim filing requirements. Once you file online we will receive your information in our system and will be verifying your information with your carrier to properly assign you a Claim Number.
We will then email you a claim form to the email you have registered with. All claim forms, claim support documents and copies of shipping documents, can be mailed to our mailing address located on contact us page.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?
FOR LOCAL MOVES: Since there are no specific time limitations regulated by the different states, we have decided to treat local / Intrastate moves as Interstate move (120 days) so that claims are adjusted in a timely manner. Local / Intrastate moves in the state of California are reviewed within 30 days as required by the California PUC.
FOR INTERSTATE MOVES: Your carrier has 120 days to provide a settlement offer for your claim, from the date your complete claim along with all required documents is received in their office. If claims can’t be settled or denied within that time, an extension notice must be sent to the customer within every consecutive 60 days period. MovingClaims.net as the assigned third party claims company must follow the same requirements of your carrier’s. However, as part of our customer service we strive to offer a speedy resolution.
HOW LONG UNTIL I GET MY CHECK?
In most cases settlement checks are mailed out within a week or two from the date the carrier receives the signed release from us. Some carriers have specific dates to issue checks and some carriers mail out settlement checks within 30 days of receipt of the signed release.
Moving Claims is requesting carriers to issue checks no later than 45 days of receipt of the signed release. This time frame is an internal requirement and not a legal requirement. You may contact us via email if you need assistance inquiring about your settlement check or you may contact your carrier directly for more specific information.
ARE YOU AFFILIATED WITH THE MOVING COMPANY ?
We are not affiliated with any of the carriers to which we provide services. We are a third party claims service company. Many carriers choose to outsource their claims service the same way they would choose to outsource their bookkeeping and accounting to a third party company for various reasons such as: Cost efficiency, Personnel deficiency, Personnel Qualifications, etc.
Moving Claims as a third party Claims Company analyzes claims based on the individual carrier’s terms & conditions and state and federal regulations.
DO I NEED TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE?
Absolutely NOT! This service is completely free for customers of our participating carriers.
DO YOU PROVIDE SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS IN OTHER STATES THAN FLORIDA?
Yes We Do! We service carriers and their customers Nationwide. However, our business hours are Mon-Fri 9AM-5PM - Eastern Standard Time.
We extend our sincerest apologies for any damage and/or inconvenience you have incurred throughout the process of your move.
