If you make an insurance claim, your insurance provider will often ask you to complete a proof of loss form. The primary purpose of this form is to record all the damaged property involved in the claim.
The proof of loss form is also known as a statement of loss.
When you report a claim, your insurance provider will provide you with a blank proof of loss form. You can expect the proof of loss to ask for information like:
The policy number
The date the loss occurred, and a description of what caused it
A list of damaged, stolen, or destroyed property
Supporting documentation, such as photos of the damage, proofs of purchase for damaged items, or police reports
