  2. Document cause and quantumPreserve accident or fire records, photographs, police or authority findings, repair evidence, valuations, invoices, business-interruption data and policy notices.
  3. Sequence insurance and liability claimsPursue available policy benefits without prejudicing tort or contract recovery, and coordinate deductibles, limits, contribution and subrogation.
