How soon must an insured submit a proof of loss?

An insured typically must submit a proof of loss within a specified timeframe outlined in their insurance policy, often ranging from 60 to 180 days after the loss occurs. It is crucial for the insured to check their policy for the exact deadline, as failure to submit the proof of loss within this period may result in a denial of the claim. Prompt submission helps expedite the claims process and ensures that the insured receives the benefits they are entitled to.
