Our Approach to Claims

When things happen, the Hippo Claims team takes care of you. Our team empathizes with what you’re going through and we’ll handle your claim as if it were our own. We’ll provide the guidance and support you need to get you back on your feet as quickly as possible.

If your home is damaged, your insurance policy can help cover the cost of needed repairs and protect your home - that’s what it’s there for.

Mary M. | Dallas, TX

When we had an issue with our roof, we called Hippo and never had to reach out to them again. They kept in touch with us and processed the claim in a timely manner. We had no issues throughout the process and Hippo is still contacting us to make sure everything is okay. We would definitely recommend Hippo.

Sandra F. | Austin, TX

Hippo was very easy to work with, handling repairs to our roof quickly so we could get back to our lives. They even came out the next day to pull the tree off the house and dispose of it. Couldn’t have been more relieved!

Mark C. | Rio Linda, CA

Hippo’s claims concierges were expedient and professional throughout the claims process. Most insurance companies find every excuse not to help. Not Hippo, you guys were awesome and we are forever grateful.

What Happens Next?

Hippo carefully manages every step of your claim, following these guidelines along the way.

Hippo may need to take additional time to review, approve or deny your claim, including those related to weather-related catastrophes or other major natural disasters.

This could be things like photos, receipts, police reports or certificates.
