CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE ON CLAIMS PROCESS


Oregon state law has been amended to strengthen the consumer’s right to choose a repair shop. Insurance companies are legally required to notify insureds and claimants of their right to choose a shop.


 

1) During the claims-handling process, were you specifically informed of your right to choose a repair shop?      Yes_______ No________
  (Here’s what you should have heard: “You have the legal right to choose a repair shop to fix your vehicle. Your policy will     cover the costs of repairing your vehicle to its pre-accident condition no matter where you have repairs made. Have you      selected a repair shop or would you like a referral?”)


2) If you had your vehicle repaired at the shop recommended by the insurer, did they provide written           correspondence that they recommended a repair shop?
   Yes______ No______
 

3) Was your right to choose a repair shop respected during the claims-handling process?
  (If you indicated you had selected a repair shop and you were subsequently either discouraged from going to   that shop or encouraged to go to another shop, you should answer “no” to this question.)
  Yes_______ No________


If no, please elaborate regarding how your claim was handled.
