If you have been the victim of a burglary or theft, it can leave you feeling shocked and vulnerable. As well as the financial cost, there is the trauma of having your home broken into and personal belongings and valuables taken. At such a distressing time, you need to feel supported – but your insurance company may not be as helpful as you thought they would.
An insurance company is a business and will aim to protect their interests by trying to pay out as little as posssible.In order to do this they appoint loss adjusters who are insurance experts they will investigate the claim and the circumstances of the crime to see how it can be settled to their best advantage.
It is becoming more and more common for policy holders to employ their own representatives to deal with the insurance company’s loss adjusters, in order to negotiate on their behalf. The result is that usually, a more balanced approach and fairer settlement is reached because the policy holders representative or Loss Assessor is trying to achieve settlement in the policy holder’s favour.
An insurance loss assessor will manage your claim for you. Work on your behalf so that you are supported and make claim presentation and negotiation as easy as possible. They are likely to speed up the process by being involved as there are two insurance professionals dealing with each other ie the loss assessor and the insurance company’s loss adjuster.
