# Processing insurance claims

While we all hope for a safe experience while on a job assignment, accidents happen! Should your contract hire need to file a claim, 1099Policy’s team will notify the insurance carrier’s claims department expeditiously, and provide support throughout the process.

To get started with filing a claim, please email **claims@1099policy.com** and include the following information:

- Name of policyholder
- Date of incident
- State in which incident occurred
- Description of incident

Please note that claims are paid directly by the insurance company. The policyholder will be contacted by the insurance company’s claim representative to determine next steps.
