What Happens If a Claim Is Filed Against Your Bond?
May 28, 2025
No one wants a claim filed against their bond—but it’s important to know what happens if one is. A claim typically means your client believes you didn’t fulfill your legal or contractual obligation. The surety company investigates the situation, and if they determine the claim is valid, they’ll pay out the loss… then come to you for reimbursement.
That’s right—unlike insurance, you’re financially responsible for paying the surety back. That’s why avoiding claims through clear contracts, great communication, and proper project management is so important. And if a claim ever does come your way? Bond Babes USA will be here to help you navigate it.
