Claims

When something goes wrong, we go to work.

Report a claim any time, day or night. Use your carrier's dedicated claims line first for the fastest response, then let Ministry Insured know so our in-house claims team can advocate on your behalf.

What to do first

Four steps that keep your claim moving.

Step 1
Get to safety

If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 911 first. Protect people, then property, before doing anything else.

Step 2
Report the loss

Call your carrier's 24/7 claims line below — they'll open the claim and assign an adjuster right away.

Step 3
Document everything

Photos, video, police report numbers, witness contacts and receipts for emergency repairs. Save it all in one place.

Step 4
Loop us in

Call 800-318-6717 or email claims@emerywebb.com so our team can advocate for you throughout the process.

Carrier claims hotlines

Report directly to your carrier, 24/7.

These are the carriers where Ministry Insured places church and ministry business. Not sure who your carrier is? Check your declarations page or contact us and we'll look it up.

A service most agencies don't offer

We don't just sell the policy — we help you through the claim.

Emery & Webb has a dedicated in-house claims team whose only job is helping clients get claims paid fairly and quickly. It's included with your Ministry Insured policy, at no additional cost.

We file and follow the claim with you

Most agencies hand you a phone number. Our in-house claims team opens the claim, tracks the adjuster, and stays on it until the file closes.

A real person on your file

You get a named claims representative in our Fishkill office — not a call center queue — who knows your policy and your ministry.

We push back when it matters

Disputed damage, slow payment, coverage questions? We review the policy language and advocate with the carrier on your behalf.

After hours or emergencies

For property damage or a serious incident outside of business hours, use your carrier's 24/7 hotline above. Then call 800-318-6717 or email claims@emerywebb.com the next business day so we can pick up your file.
