Delivered by email to: deliaviramontes@yahoo.com
Thank you for choosing us to provide for your insurance needs. We value you as a customer and appreciate
the opportunity to be of service. You’ll receive payment separately from this email for the needed and related
repairs to your home.
The attached loss worksheet and estimate explains your settlement in more detail. Please note that we have not
included the flooring material costs in the estimate. We will address this portion of the claim upon receipt of the
report from ITEL.
As we discussed, this payment is for the actual cash value of your claim less your deductible. Actual cash value
is based on replacement cost less any applicable depreciation for age, useful life and condition. Labor, taxes
and other fees and expenses have also been depreciated if not prohibited by your state. To recover depreciation,
please send me a copy of any invoices or receipts that demonstrate replacement or repairs. We believe our
estimate reflects the reasonable cost necessary to repair or replace the covered damages. Please let me know
immediately if you disagree. I'll reimburse you for the full replacement cost reasonably paid to repair or replace
the covered damages or any applicable policy limits. If you intend to recover withheld depreciation, you must
submit a copy of your invoices or receipts within 365 days from the date of our first Actual Cash Value payment,
or by November 19, 2021. While some policies may provide less than 365 days to submit a copy of your
invoices or receipts, we are extending this time period to 365 days from the date of the first ACV payment.
You may request a six-month extension to submit your claim to recover withheld depreciation if you provide an
explanation that shows good cause as to why repairs or replacement can’t be completed within 365 days of our
first actual cash value payment. Please contact your claims representative if you can’t submit your replacement
cost claim within that time, so we can help you finalize your claim. If the loss or damage relates to an event for
CCJ0421W3
which a state of emergency was declared, as defined in Section 8558 of the California Government Code, you’ll
have 36 months from the date of our first actual cash value payment to make a claim for replacement cost.
I've attached a detailed estimate for the scope of the covered damage and reasonable repair costs. I have
estimated that a general contractor may be needed to manage the repairs, so I've included general contractor
fees as part of your actual cash value settlement. If you do not actually hire a general contractor, these amounts
will be deducted from any replacement cost settlement. You may choose any repair company you wish to
complete repairs. If the repair company you choose will charge more than my estimated amount, please contact
me before work begins. I'll review your repairer’s recommendations and help reach an agreement.
Your policy requires I include your mortgage company as a payee. To minimize delays in your home repairs,
you may want to contact your mortgage company to find out their requirements for endorsing the payment
and releasing the funds. During this contact, the mortgage company may request a copy of the building repair
estimate, which they may refer to as the "adjuster’s worksheet" or similar term.
The policy provides that after a loss, you should protect your property from further damage. Please keep all
receipts for emergency repairs or other expenses related to minimizing further damage.
We do not know of any party legally responsible for causing or contributing to this loss, therefore we are unable
to pursue recovery of the amounts paid, including your deductible, if applicable. In the absence of additional
information, the pursuit of any recovery is your responsibility. However, if you have additional information that
would identify a responsible party, please contact me.
We did not include drying charges in your building estimate. Since you chose a local mitigation contractor,
we’ll need a copy of their invoice. After we receive the invoice, we will review and contact you about settlement.
We reserve all rights and defenses under the policy and law and no activity on our part should be construed as
a waiver. Even though only parts of the policy may be mentioned or quoted in this letter, additional portions if
found to be relevant will be applied.
California law and regulations require that we provide you with written notice of any limitation period upon
which we may rely to deny a claim.
CONDITIONS
...
11. Suit Against Us. No action shall be brought unless there has been compliance with the policy
provisions and the action is started within one year after the loss.
In addition, we may deny a claim based on the applicable California statute of limitations.
We encourage you to visit www.farmers.com to learn more about our self-service options available to you,

Claim #: 7003631361-1 Farmers Insurance Exchange
We appreciate the opportunity to serve your insurance needs and we want to make sure you have a clear understanding of how
your claim will be processed.
Attached is the estimate for the repairs of the damages to your property, also called the Replacement Cost Value of your loss. If
depreciation was applied to the estimated repair costs, then the Replacement Cost Value less the depreciation is the Actual Cash
Value of your loss. Depreciation is based on the average quality, age, condition and useful life of the damaged property, unless
otherwise noted. The applicable policy deductible(s) will be deducted from these amounts.
If it appears reasonably likely that a general contractor will be needed to coordinate and supervise the repairs, the estimate also
includes an amount for general contractor overhead and profit, unless your policy provides that general contractor overhead and
profit will only be paid if incurred. In addition, if your policy provides that any amounts for the matching of undamaged
materials will only be paid if incurred, then those estimated amounts will be shown under a section of the estimate labeled
Matching of Undamaged Property.
Please note this estimate reflects the extent of known covered damages to the property referenced above. No supplemental or
additional payments will be issued for repairs that have not been included in this estimate, without prior approval. This approval
must be obtained prior to replacement or repair. We must have the opportunity to view and inspect any proposed changes or
additional work.
Should you receive an estimate of repairs that exceeds this estimate, or if you wish to send us any other information related to
your claim, please include “Attention Claim # 7003631361-1” and forward this information to us by:
1. E-mailing to myclaim@farmersinsurance.com or
2. Faxing to 877-217-1389, or
3. Mailing to National Document Center, P.O. Box 268994, Oklahoma City, OK 73126-8994.
Once you have completed the repairs to your property, you may make a Replacement Cost claim for up to the amount of the
recoverable depreciation withheld. Any depreciation shown as “non-recoverable” does not qualify for reimbursement. Please
refer to the Conditions section of your policy for specific time limits within which you must claim the recoverable depreciation.
Once you complete the repairs, please send your supporting documentation to us as outlined above. In any case, your total claim
will not exceed the amount you actually spent making the repairs, minus your policy deductible. Estimated costs not actually
incurred, like general contractor overhead and profit, will offset recoverable depreciation.
If your policy provides for Building Ordinance or Law coverage, any known covered costs resulting from ordinance or law
upgrades are itemized in this estimate or contained in a separate estimate we will provide to you. However, these costs are not
included as part of the Actual Cash Value of this estimate. Ordinance or law costs will be paid under your policy when incurred
by you, subject to your deductible.
We wish to inform you there are time limits set forth in the Conditions section of your policy which may affect the time within
which you may pursue your claim. We suggest that you review the Conditions section of your policy, as may be endorsed,
particularly noting the 'Suit Against Us' or 'Legal Action Against Us' provision.
Although as a service we may refer contractors or repairmen to you, it is your decision to hire the contractor of your choice. We
neither direct or manage the activities nor guarantee the work of any contractor, whether referred or not. It is up to you to make
sure the work is completed to your satisfaction.
We encourage you to visit www.farmers.com to learn more about our self-service options available to you; including the ability
to view your claim status, upload documents and photos and find local service providers.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your insurance needs. If you have any questions regarding this claim, please feel free to
