5. A copy of your claim will be provided to Administration. Administration is responsible for assigning your claim to Renton RFA’s third-party adjusting company in a timely manner.

6. Administration or the claims adjuster will investigate your claim and determine to what extent if Renton RFA is legally responsible for your damages.  Generally, Renton RFA will only pay for damages when it can be shown that Renton RFA was negligent in its operations.

In accordance with state law, Renton RFA may take up to 60 days after claim submission to evaluate your claim. Claims that do not receive a response within 60 days are deemed denied.
