How TIK handles Farmers Insurance claims

Farmers uses Xactimate as their scope and pricing tool. We write scopes in Xactimate format aligned with Farmers' regional pricing database.

Farmers offers Smart Plan policies and Smart Plan Home — different coverage tiers with different deductibles and limits. Tell us your specific Farmers product when you call so we can align documentation accordingly.

Farmers' adjuster pool tends to handle Pacific Northwest claims efficiently because regional costs and damage patterns are well-understood by their local team.

Farmers has a network of preferred contractors but use of the network is optional. You have the right to choose any licensed contractor.
