Contact

Contacts represent individuals or businesses and can be linked to claims or companies.

Contacts either represent individual people or businesses and are used within Claimable to build a profile for each person or business relating to your claims. A given contact can belong to a company, in the case of an employee or staff, or it can belong to one or many claims, in the case of claimants, insured parties, third parties, witnesses, etc.

Contacts can also exist on their own, without being linked to any claim or company.
