To Report a Catastrophe Claim

STAY CONNECTED WITH LEXINGTON!
  • What is a Catastrophe?
    A catastrophe is a natural, widespread disaster including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, windstorms, hailstorms and earthquakes to name a few.

    Be Prepared!
    We hope our policyholders never experience a catastrophe or have a catastrophic loss.  However, to help prepare, protect, and recover from such an event, please review the information on our CAT Information Center. This site provides information on preparing for a natural disaster, weather forecasting, and links to helpful sites such as the American Red Cross and The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

    Lexington understands the circumstance policyholders may face having suffered a catastrophic loss and provide several options for reporting claims.

    For Policyholders, the preferred method of reporting a First Notice of Loss during a catastrophic event is to follow the general rule of reporting the claim to the insured’s Broker or Program Administrator.

    In the event the Broker or Program Administrator cannot be immediately reached, we provide several options to contact us directly.
