In purchasing and filing a bond, you agreed to fulfill whatever obligation(s) the form outlines. In the event a claim is filed against your bond, you cannot simply ignore it. 

If a claim is filed against your bond, you might be notified by:

  • a SuretyBonds.com representative
  • a representative from the issuing surety market
  • the obligee's office
  • the claimant
  • any combination of these

To resolve a claim, you'll ultimately work with the issuing surety market's claim department regardless of the claim's validity. SuretyBonds.com does not process, handle, or manage any claims on behalf of our markets, but we can always provide you with the needed contact information for claim resolution.

Based on the nature of the claim, your issuing surety market might choose to cancel your bond, which is always at their sole discretion. 

If you need help with a claim filed against your bond or have other questions regarding the surety bond claims process, call 1 (800) 308-4358 or email customercare@suretybonds.com, and one of our friendly representatives will be happy to help.
