How Loti’s Claim Support Process Works

Recovering from property damage can feel overwhelming. Between insurance paperwork, damage documentation, repair estimates, personal property lists, temporary housing expenses, and carrier communication, it can be hard to know what to do first or what matters most.

Loti’s claim support process is designed to bring structure, clarity, and professional guidance to that experience. We help homeowners understand their situation, organize their documentation, prepare their claim materials, communicate with the insurance company, and move toward recovery with a clearer plan.

Loti’s services combine licensed public adjuster support, structured claim workflows, modern documentation tools, and homeowner education to help you manage your claim from the first steps through settlement and beyond. Loti describes its approach as insurance claim support “from 1st steps to final settlement,” with a focus on organizing, managing, and negotiating claims on behalf of homeowners.

Step 1: Personalized Consultation

Every Loti engagement starts with a conversation.

During the initial consultation, the Loti team works to understand what happened, where you are in the claim process, and what kind of support you may need. This conversation helps us learn about the damage, your insurance policy, your priorities, and any immediate concerns.

We may ask about:

The type of incident or loss
The date the damage occurred
The areas of the home or property affected
Whether you have already contacted your insurance carrier
Whether an adjuster has inspected the property
Whether you have received an estimate, payment, denial, or coverage letter
Any emergency repairs or mitigation already completed
Photos, videos, receipts, reports, or estimates you have gathered
Temporary housing, personal property, or repair concerns

The services page describes this as a personalized consultation to understand your situation, policy, and priorities before creating a plan.

By the end of the consultation, the goal is to give you a clearer sense of your next steps and whether Loti’s services are a good fit.

Step 2: Policy and Claim Review

Once we understand your situation, we review the insurance documents and claim materials available.

This may include:

Your homeowners insurance policy
Declarations page
Endorsements
Deductibles and limits
Carrier correspondence
Insurance estimates
Claim payment summaries
Reservation of rights letters
Denial letters
Prior inspection notes
Contractor estimates
Repair invoices
Personal property documentation
Loss of Use or Additional Living Expense records

This review helps identify what coverages may apply, what documentation may be missing, what deadlines or policy duties matter, and what parts of the claim may need more attention.

Loti does not replace your insurance policy or make coverage decisions for the carrier. Instead, we help organize and evaluate the claim from the homeowner’s perspective so the documentation is clearer, more complete, and better aligned with the policy.

Step 3: Structured Claim Workstreams

A claim can become confusing when everything is treated as one giant pile of paperwork.

Loti breaks the claim into structured workstreams so each part can be documented, reviewed, and managed more clearly. The services page explains that Loti segments claims into workstreams tied to the policy and type of loss, such as dwelling repairs, personal property, Additional Living Expenses, or business impacts.

Depending on your claim, workstreams may include:

Insurance: policy documents, claim letters, carrier estimates, payments, deadlines, and communications
Construction: damage photos, scopes of work, contractor estimates, repair invoices, permits, inspections, and rebuild documentation
Personal Property: damaged, lost, or destroyed belongings, inventories, receipts, photos, replacement research, and valuation support
Loss of Use: temporary housing, meals, utilities, travel, storage, laundry, pet boarding, and other additional living expenses
Specialty Issues: environmental testing, code upgrades, debris removal, business impacts, or other claim-specific needs

This structure helps turn a complicated claim into smaller, more manageable parts.

Step 4: Documentation Collection and Organization

Strong claims depend on strong documentation.

Loti helps homeowners gather and organize the records needed to support the claim. These records may include photos, videos, estimates, invoices, receipts, reports, inventories, housing expenses, carrier letters, and contractor communications.

The goal is to make the claim easier to review by creating a clear record of:

What happened
What was damaged
What repairs are needed
What items were lost or destroyed
What expenses were incurred
What the policy may provide
What the insurance carrier has already paid or requested
What still needs to be resolved

Instead of leaving information scattered across emails, text messages, camera rolls, folders, invoices, and spreadsheets, Loti helps bring the claim materials into an organized workflow.

Step 5: Technology-Powered Claim Support

Loti uses modern tools to help document, organize, and present claim information.

The services page highlights tools such as 3D LiDAR scans, AI Vision, AI Doc Scan, Smart Ledger, secure digital accounts, and industry-standard estimating and documentation systems, including Xactimate.

Depending on the claim, these tools may help with:

Capturing accurate property measurements
Organizing photos and files
Building or supporting personal property inventories
Reviewing receipts, invoices, and reports
Tracking payments and expenses
Identifying documentation gaps
Preparing clearer claim submissions
Supporting repair scopes and estimates
Keeping claim information more accessible

Technology does not replace professional judgment, but it can make the process more organized, consistent, and efficient.

Step 6: Damage Evaluation and Scope Development

Once documentation is gathered, Loti helps evaluate the full scope of the loss.

This may include reviewing:

Visible property damage
Hidden or related damage
Emergency mitigation work
Contractor estimates
Repair or rebuild scopes
Personal property losses
Temporary housing and Loss of Use expenses
Prior carrier estimates or payments
Areas where additional documentation may be needed

For construction-related damage, Loti may help compare carrier estimates with contractor scopes, available evidence, and industry-standard estimating practices. For personal property, Loti may help organize item details, photos, receipts, and replacement information. For Loss of Use, Loti may help structure expenses so they are easier to understand and submit.

The goal is to make sure the claim reflects the full documented impact of the loss.

Step 7: Claim Submission and Carrier Communication

Once the claim materials are organized, Loti helps prepare and coordinate claim submissions.

A submission may include:

A summary of the loss
Supporting photos and videos
Construction estimates or scopes
Personal property inventories
Loss of Use expense documentation
Receipts and invoices
Reports from contractors, inspectors, or specialists
Policy references, when relevant
Open items requiring carrier review

Loti’s services page explains that licensed professionals coordinate directly with the insurance company, submit required documentation, track deadlines, and manage follow-ups so important items are not missed or delayed.

This helps reduce the burden on the homeowner and keeps the process moving in a more organized way.

Step 8: Negotiation and Follow-Up

Insurance claims often require follow-up.

The carrier may request more documentation, issue a partial estimate, ask for clarification, schedule inspections, dispute scope, apply depreciation, or identify coverage questions. Loti helps manage these claim communications and supports the homeowner through the process.

This may include:

Responding to carrier questions
Reviewing carrier estimates
Identifying missing or under-scoped items
Preparing supplemental documentation
Tracking deadlines and open requests
Coordinating additional inspections
Reviewing payments and settlement documents
Advocating for a fair review of the documented loss

The goal is not just to submit paperwork, but to help the claim move toward a clear and well-supported resolution.

Step 9: Settlement Review and Recovery Planning

When the insurance carrier issues a payment or settlement decision, Loti helps review the outcome.

This may include reviewing:

What was paid
What was denied or excluded
How the deductible was applied
Whether depreciation was withheld
Whether recoverable depreciation may be available later
Whether the payment aligns with documented damage
Whether supplemental documentation may be needed
Whether additional expenses or repairs remain unresolved

From there, Loti can help you understand next steps, such as contractor coordination, repair documentation, replacement of belongings, Loss of Use follow-up, or supplemental claim activity.

Step 10: Ongoing Support After the Claim

Loti’s support does not have to end when the claim closes.

The services page describes ongoing support through annual Policy Health Checks and curated RallyBack guidance focused on maintenance, risk reduction, and claim prevention.

Ongoing support may help homeowners:

Review coverage after a major life change
Revisit policy limits after repairs or upgrades
Understand seasonal home maintenance needs
Reduce the risk of future claims
Stay more prepared for future incidents
Keep documentation habits current

The goal is to help homeowners recover from the current claim and stay better prepared going forward.
