How to contact Generali to report a claim
Once you have collected all the necessary information, it is important to report the claim to the insurance company as soon as possible.

What to do after you have reported your accident
After reporting the accident to Generali, it is important to follow a few simple rules to better manage the situation. First, it is essential to avoid making repairs or modifications to the damaged vehicle or property, as this could jeopardize subsequent expertise and compensation.

Finally, it is important to respond promptly to any requests for information or additional documentation from Generali, to avoid delays or complications in the management of
the claim.
How does the appraisal and compensation work
After opening the claim file, Generali will proceed with the expert report, that is, the inspection of the accident area and the damaged vehicle or property. For this purpose, the insurance will appoint an expert, who will assess the extent of the damage and draw up a technical report on the basis of which the amount of compensation will be determined. Once the report has been completed and the compensation has been calculated, Generali will compensate for the damage. Generally, the insurance pays the compensation within 30 days after submitting all the necessary documents. In the event that the insurance does not grant the requested compensation, the customer has the opportunity to initiate a conciliation procedure or to contact the competent authorities to resolve the dispute
