What is a statement of fact?

A statement of fact is any statement that makes a true assertion about something. In the context of insurance claims law in Washington, it would refer to any statement made about an insurance claim such as the date the claim was filed, the type of coverage involved, the amount of coverage, or the amount of the claim. A statement of fact can come from an insurance policyholder, an insurance carrier, or a third party. It is important for insurance companies and policyholders to accurately present the facts of their claims, as any inaccuracies can have a major impact on the outcome of the claim. For example, if a policyholder makes a statement of fact that is not accurate, they could be held liable for any losses resulting from their misrepresentation. Similarly, if an insurance company provides a statement of fact that is incorrect, they could be held liable for any losses resulting from their misrepresentation. In either case, it is essential that all parties involved in an insurance claim provide accurate statements of fact to ensure a fair resolution to the claim.
