Examination under oath
A formal interview, conducted under oath, where the insurer questions the policyholder about a claim. It is typically used when a carrier needs answers about the cause and details of a loss or suspects misrepresentation. The policyholder answers questions through an attorney, and the testimony can be used later. Restoration contractors prepare for it by keeping thorough records of the loss date, scope, and repair costs.
