How to ensure you are being equally represented

In many cases, particularly with complicated or larger insurance claims, the insurance company will appoint a Loss Adjuster to review the circumstances that have led to a claim being made. It is the Loss Adjuster’s role to scrutinise the insurance policy in place and rule if they believe the insurance company should or should not pay the claim.

With this in mind, it is imperative that the policyholder (you) gives the Loss Adjuster no reason to recommend that the insurer doesn’t pay for damages. As the UK’s leading Loss Assessors, we recommend a number of steps to members of the public when they need to make an insurance claim:

  • Ensure your building is safe, for example; does the electricity need to be switched off? Do windows and doors need to be boarded up? Once the property is safe, do not touch anything else until the Loss Adjuster has been to inspect the damage. If you move things or try to clean your property, the Loss Adjuster might miss a crucial element that you want to claim for.
  • Read your insurance policy documents to familiarise yourself with any clauses and know the answers to questions the Adjuster might ask you during your meeting.
  • Take photographs. Evidence is essential to prove your case to the Loss Adjuster throughout an insurance claim. You might put in a claim for an expensive television for example. If the reason for its cost is that it is a certain brand or a particularly high specification, your insurer might well want to see proof of this.
  • If you have receipts for items, these can be very helpful to show the Loss Adjuster as it not only shows the true value of an item, but also the date when you made your purchase.

There are many more recommendations we would make according to the personal circumstances of individual claims. If you would like one of our independent claim experts to talk through your claim and answer any questions you have, please feel free to call us for free, no obligation advice.

Popular Questions

What will my insurance company think if I appoint a Loss Assessor? faq plus icon to expand accordian

There is no reason why your insurance company or Loss Adjuster should discourage you from appointing your own Loss Assessor. If your Loss Adjuster is trying to dissuade you from using our services, you should question why they are against the idea of you being equally represented. After all, a Loss Assessor can only help a policyholder claim for what is legally within their insurance contract. Click here to read more about Loss Adjusters.

Doesn’t my insurance company manage my claim? faq plus icon to expand accordian

While many insurance companies will support you in the initial weeks of your claim, their only responsibility is to ensure costs are covered to restore your property and replace damaged contents, stock, machinery etc. (if applicable). As your claim progresses, you will be left with the most stressful and time consuming day-to-day elements to organise and oversee alone if you do not appoint a Loss Assessor.

What’s the difference between a Loss Assessor and a Loss Adjuster? faq plus icon to expand accordian

Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters are both insurance claim professionals, but there is one key difference in their role during the insurance claim process; a Loss Assessor is appointed by and works exclusively for the policyholder, while a Loss Adjuster is appointed and paid by the insurance company. Loss Adjusters are expected to remain independent. Read more about the difference between Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters here.
