A: A post like this does not contain the context, however, if you are in litigation and you have an attorney, then you discuss this with your attorney. If you are without an attorney, then you ask the other side if the insurance company is a defendant to provide it, whether it's a request to the attorney representing the insurance company or it's via discovery. On the other hand, depending on what you are actually seeking, if you have an insurance agent,, you might be able to simply contact your insurance agent and him for this. All this said, whether it's the attorney, adjuster, or the insurance agent, none of the may be willing to provide the claim record you are seeking. At best, if they respond, then then will provide only certain information, which may or may not be what you are actually wanting. Yeah, I am sorry for the confusing and rambling answer, but insurance companies want to hide the ball from you is my experience.
