ProceduresWhat it's all about...

Your General Responsibilities

 

This is what insurance broking is all about. We have a proven track record of getting difficult claims paid and ensuring our clients get the satisfaction of a full settlement. We go the extra mile and have dedicated claims staff to ensure every claim receives meticulous attention.

  • A basic principle that should never be overlooked is your duty to minimise any loss once this has occurred and, in effect, TO ACT AS IF YOU WERE UNINSURED.

  • Notify us or the Insurer immediately after any loss, accident, liability or illness as soon as it comes to your knowledge.  It is a Condition of the Policy that notice of claims be given as soon as practical to the Insurer.

  • Complete the appropriate Claim Form and return it to us as soon as possible. No claim can be settled, nor any repairer/Third Party reimbursed, until such time as your Insurer receives a completed Claim Form.

  • Receipts, valuations or other documents to support your claim/ownership/values should be forwarded with your Claim Form.

  • In the case of Theft, Loss or Malicious Damage you must promptly notify the police and forward the Police Complaint Acknowledgement Form with your Claim Form.

  • Should the incident involve a Third Party, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ADMIT LIABILITY.

  • Act with due diligence and try to assist your Insurers in every possible way.
