Claims

You hope you never have to report a claim. But if you do, you want the claim handled fairly, promptly, and with courtesy and respect. West Bend couldn't be known as The Silver Lining® if it weren't for the superior service given to our customers by our experienced, knowledgeable, and understanding claims professionals.

Our claims associates are located throughout the states in which we serve. This helps ensure fast, local service. We believe it's important that local staff provide service to our policyholders and agents whenever possible.

Our reputation for providing superior service and support comes from the way we’ve conducted business since 1894. Ask an agent who represents West Bend or a West Bend policyholder who's had a loss. We're confident they'll speak highly of our fairness, knowledge, understanding, and empathy.

24/7 Claims Service

West Bend’s DirectConnect® allows you to report a loss anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The claims process begins immediately when you call us toll free at 1-877-922-5246. Our associates will thoroughly explain the claims process, answer all your questions, and offer guidance, when needed, to help select repair services. Some claims can be settled in one call and paid within 24 hours.
