Insurance Claim Management Process Steps

The insurance claim management process has several stages, and a missed step can delay the claim.

Report the loss to your insurer or broker as soon as possible, as your policy requires, and contact us at the same time. These are general steps in the claim management process, however these steps may vary depending on the type of claim and on the individual circumstances.

 As they say the devil is in the detail and each claim will be quite different.

If you would like Insurance Claim Solutions to help you with any aspect of your Claim Management Process, please call us on 01 870 9210. 

1.

DOCUMENT THE DAMAGE

The Loss Assessor will visit your property to assess and document the loss. He may take some pictures, videos, or use specialised equipment to capture a 3D image of the damage. He may also call for a specialist consultation from a materials expert, a structural engineer etc.

2.

INSPECT YOUR POLICY WORDING

The Loss Assessor or Claims Management Expert will read carefully the small print in your policy to see which aspects of your loss are covered by your policy and which ones might be excluded. He will also make note of any special clauses and excesses that will impact your payout.

3.

FORMULATE AN APPROACH

Based on the gathered evidence of the damage and depending on your policy wording, the Claim Manager will then formulate a plan as to how the claim is going to be presented to the insurance company. He will then discuss this plan with you and also advise you on any policy exclusions and potential emergency works.

4.

COMPLETE CLAIM FORM

Claim Manager will then complete the claim form and all supporting documentation e.g. any expert opinions or tests that will support your claim. He will check that the form and supporting documents are complete before they are submitted. 

5.

FILE THE CLAIM

Once the Claim Form is completed and all supporting documentation is in order, the Claim Manager will then submit the claim to your insurers on your behalf. 

6.

MEET WITH LOSS ADJUSTER

After receiving the claim, your insurer will usually appoint a loss adjuster to assess the damage on its behalf and agree the scope of repairs. Our Claims Manager will meet the loss adjuster and present the claim, including any damage that may not be immediately obvious. 

7.

COLLECT & SUBMIT REPAIR QUOTES

Based on the agreed scope of repairs, the Claim Manager will then collect quotes from your preferred repairers, or, if you don’t have any, he can help you obtain quotes from suitable contractors. Check your policy conditions on approved repairers before you appoint anyone. 

8.

NEGOTIATE CLAIM SETTLEMENT

Once all the repair quotes are in, your Claim Manager will negotiate the settlement with your insurers, backed by the evidence gathered at each earlier step. 

9.

RECEIVE CLAIM PAYOUT  

Once the settlement is agreed with your insurer, the insurer pays you directly. We work on a no win, no fee basis, and our fee is payable only after you have received payment from your insurer.
