Jeder Schadensfall muss innerhalb von zwei Wochen gemeldet werden.
Every insurance claim must be reported within two weeks.
Common collocations include 'einen Schadensfall melden' (to report an insurance claim), 'einen Schadensfall prüfen' (to review an insurance claim), and 'einen Schadensfall bearbeiten' (to process an insurance claim). These usually refer to communication between the insured person and the insurance company.
Die Versicherung hat den Schadensfall sorgfältig geprüft.

The prepositions 'bei' and 'im' are particularly common with this word: 'bei einem Schadensfall' (in the event of an insurance claim) refers to the situation in general, while 'im Schadensfall' (in the event of a claim) often appears in instructions or general rules.
