NEED TO MAKE A CLAIM OR HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AN EXISTING ONE?

FLOOD ~ FIRE ~ THEFT ~ STORM DAMAGE

If you are reading this page, you may be in the unfortunate position of having suffered the trauma of a fire, flood or theft at your home or place of business.

It is our sincere hope that this will be the first and last time you experience such a trauma!

After the shock waves subside a little, naturally your thoughts turn to getting on with the task of restoration.

When a severe problem occurs like a flood, fire or theft, a policyholder naturally reaches out to their insurance company in the first instance.

WILL THE INSURANCE COMPANY’S ADJUSTER TAKE CARE OF YOU?

CoupleVery often, people’s first response is “My insurance company’s assessor will take care of it”. What this really means is that a “loss adjuster” acting for the insurance company has been instructed to visit them.

But what you’re perhaps unaware of is that the loss adjuster acts on the insurance company’s behalf with their interests in mind – they don’t get paid to ensure you get your full claim entitlement!

We are here to help you – 100% in your interest

POLICYHOLDERS LACK INFLUENCE & CONTROL OVER THEIR CLAIM

Coin StackIt’s bad enough having to suffer the physical and emotional heartache a catastrophe brings. However, what often follows next can make a really bad situation – dire!

Frustration – probably after many time consuming calls, your insurer will eventually send round their loss adjuster.

You Must Use Our Suppliers – the loss adjusters and/or the insurers will try and insist that you use their contractor for building work as well as their suppliers for carpets, jewellery, electrical items and more. instance.

Passed From Pillar To Post – your claim will never be dealt with by one individual. The claim will not be in your control and because a number of different people will be involved, the process will become increasingly frustrating and time consuming – time you will want to spend organising your home and work/business commitments and most importantly – getting on with your life!

Seventeen17 PEOPLE –  A CASE STUDY

Consider a true story of a typical situation drawn for our own case files. We were instructed by a seventy year old gentleman to assist with a claim for serious fire damage caused at his house a week earlier. By that time, a week after the fire, he had spoken with eleven people already involved in the claim process with the prospect of a further six to follow and thus had SEVENTEEN contacts to make!

WHY NOT LEAVE THE WORRIES OF YOUR INSURANCE CLAIM TO THE PROFESSIONALS?

Nobody would go into court without professional representation, or see the Inland Revenue without speaking to their accountant first. So why try and handle a big insurance claim without professional help?
