| NOTE: |
Everyone involved with a claim must
"warrant" that every document they provide and every statement they make
is accurate. (For details see "Logistics Guide to insurance" under the
"Training" link >CLICK HERE<).
If any document is delayed claims settlement is slowed.
If any information in documents conflicts, claims settlement must
wait until the discrepancy is completely understood by all. |
