Will my premium increase following a claim?

Possibly, however difficult to confirm as other claims under the policy will be considered in addition, market conditions will also be relevant and until the claim settles reserves are applied based on information available at the time.

How long will my claim take?

It is difficult to advise, and every claim is different. We will ensure we monitor your claim from report to ensure the claim is progressing. We will provide an update to you, when necessary.

What is a policy excess?

This is the portion of the claim you are responsible for paying. Please refer to your policy schedule to identify the applicable excess.

How long do I have to report a claim?

Generally, insurers require you to report all matters as soon as you are aware, or the incident happens.  Please consult your policy Terms & Conditions to confirm any specific requirements.

Will solicitors be appointed by insurers?

Most insurers will outsource the initial notification to a panel solicitor to determine policy indemnity which may be a different panel solicitor that would deal with the claim.

Will I be required to attend court?

If liability is denied and the claimants’ solicitors do not accept this then yes, a trial is possibility.
