Handling of Claims
In servicing an insurance policy, we ensure that all claims are handled and concluded with minimum delay. To achieve this, we ascertain that: -
- The claim is admissible
- The claim is reported on time
- The loss adjuster receives full co-operation from all parties concerned
- The claim is fully documented
We adopt the following procedure in claims settlement:
- Provide the insured with a write-up on the preliminary, technical and physical procedure to follow on claims under each of the different classes of insurance.
- Upon the happening of the loss or damage and on receiving notification.
- Promptly report the claims to the insurance Company.
- Ensure the prompt appointment of a loss adjuster or assessor where one is required and follow up to visit the site of the loss or damage for investigation
- Depending on the nature, magnitude or seriousness of the loss or damage, we send a representative to the site.
- Maintain a constant track of the Adjuster’s investigation or adjustment of the loss.
- Give advice and assist in the completion of claim forms, where necessary, and the compiling of the required claims supporting documents and/or any other details.
- Follow up the Insurance Company to ensure that where a claim has been fully documented, it is promptly settled.
