Quick answer
How do I contact Claims Answer Man?
Use the contact form on this page and pick the topic that fits: course questions, technical support, or media, privacy and accessibility requests. Billing and account topics open with the course. We reply by email. We can’t advise on an individual insurance claim, so for that, contact your state insurance department, a licensed public adjuster or an attorney.
How to get a useful reply the first time
These details help us answer in one email.
- Step 1: Pick the closest topic
If nothing fits, choose Something else and describe your question in a sentence or two.
- Step 2: Use the email you signed up with
That lets us find your account or your early-access sign-up without asking you again.
- Step 3: Say what happened
Tell us what you clicked, what you expected, and what happened instead. Exact error wording helps.
- Step 4: Leave claim details out
Please don’t include policy numbers, claim numbers, bank details or photos of your damage. We don’t need them to help with the course.
Who can help with a question about your own claim
These are the people whose job includes your individual claim. Each one plays a different role, and some charge for their help.
-
Your state insurance department
It regulates insurance companies in your state, answers consumer questions, and looks into complaints for free when a claim seems delayed or mishandled. Find yours in our state-by-state guides.
-
A licensed public adjuster
A claims professional you hire to prepare and negotiate your claim. You pay the fee, usually a flat amount or a percentage of the payment. Licensing rules and fee limits vary by state, so check with your state insurance department before you sign.
-
A licensed attorney
For legal questions, such as a denial you believe is wrong, a deadline to file a lawsuit, or a contract you were asked to sign. Look for one licensed in your state who handles property insurance claims.
-
Your insurance company
Your adjuster or claim representative can explain a decision and tell you what they still need from you. Ask for the answer in writing.
Have a claim question right now?
Our free guides answer the questions homeowners ask most, such as how to file a homeowners claim, what to do when you disagree with the estimate, and how to reach your state’s insurance department.
Thinking about a complaint? Most state insurance departments accept complaints online, by mail or by phone, and there’s no charge to file one. Have your policy number, claim number, key dates and copies of letters and emails ready before you start.

-
Billing
Questions about a charge, a receipt or a refund once the course is on sale.
-
Password and access
Trouble signing in or reaching a lesson, once the course opens. Include the email on your account. Never send us your password.

Questions about contacting us
How long does it take to get a reply from Claims Answer Man?
We answer messages by email in the order they arrive. Accessibility reports have their own reply times in our accessibility statement: we confirm we have your report within two business days. For other messages we’ll post a response time here once support hours are set for the course launch. If your question is urgent and about your claim, contact your insurance company or your state insurance department directly instead of waiting on us.
Can I call Claims Answer Man instead of filling out the form?
Not yet. Claims Answer Man doesn’t have its own phone line or public support email yet, so the contact form is the way to reach us. It gives both of us a written record of your question, and we can reply with links you can save and reread. If we add a phone line or an email address later, we’ll list it on this page and in the site footer.
I forgot my password or a lesson won’t open. What should I do?
Once the course opens, the sign-in screen will have a password reset link that emails you a link to set a new password. If that doesn’t work, or a lesson won’t load, send us a message with the topic Password and access, the email on your account, and the device and browser you’re using. Never include your password.
Can you tell me if a public adjuster or contractor is legitimate?
We can’t vet individual businesses. In states that license public adjusters, your state insurance department can confirm whether one holds an active license, and many states have a separate board that licenses contractors. Our guide on what a public adjuster does lists questions to ask before you sign anything.
How do I request an interview or a podcast appearance with John Dwayne?
Choose the topic Media and podcast in the contact form and include your outlet, topic and deadline. We can talk about the course and the claim process in general, but we never comment on an individual homeowner’s claim. For the podcast John hosts, see our page on Homeowners Insurance Exposed.
