It’s in the principal’s best interest to avoid issues that may lead to a bond claim, as they will have to pay the costs, and claims damage their reputation. If there’s a dispute on a bonded project, the obligee can file a claim with the surety company, seeking reimbursement for damages they’ve suffered. The surety company investigates the claim, and if it finds that it’s legitimate, it will pay out funds to cover the claim.Īfter the claim is settled, the surety will then collect the funds it paid out from the principal who purchased the bond.
