For certain claims a Loss Adjuster may be appointed.
For Glass claims
‘Glasscare’ scheme with an authorised repairer – UK Glassforce – Tel 0844 357 1601 Contact – Gerard Byrne. They will then deal with the repairs and liaise with Insurers directly regarding payment. You will only need to pay the excess amount (plus any other amount they are not covered for – i.e. if under-insured/any betterment).
For Material Damage Claims
As well as completing claim form Insured will need to obtain at least 2 estimates for any repairs/replacement of any stolen items. Repairs should not proceed without authorisation from Insurers – except any work which is necessary to prevent further damage or injury/minimize loss or to secure premises. Insurers will advise any further information they require upon receipt of claim form/estimates.
For Liability Claims
Insured should complete claim form with full details of the incident and forward together with any correspondence they have received from Claimant/Claimant’s Solicitor.
