Claims

If you need to make a claim or have any questions about an existing claim, you can contact us for assistance. We'll let you know what extra information we need to help speed things up.

Take immediate steps to prevent or minimise further damage - TO ACT AS IF YOU WERE UNINSURED

Notify us or the insurer immediately after any loss, accident, liability as soon as it comes to your knowledge.

Complete the appropriate Claim form and return 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.

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 or ENTERING INTO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT without prior consent of your insurer.

Receipts, valuations or other documents to support your claim should be forwarded with your claim form.

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

Tips for if something goes wrong.

Make your property secure

• If your home or business has been damaged, do whatever you need to do to secure the premises and make it safe and comfortable for your family or employees.

Contact us as soon as you can

• The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can help. For example, we may be able to arrange quicker repairs or get you into temporary accommodation.

Do what you can to minimise any damage

• Do what you can to prevent further damage - like boarding up windows or removing water damaged property. Try not to throw anything away, but if you have to, take photographs first.

Take photographs

• Photograph any damage or other evidence. If you're in a motor collision, it's a good idea to take photos before any vehicles are moved if it's safe to do so.

Don't admit liability

• Talk to us, or your broker or advisor before admitting liability or entering into a settlement agreement.
