A single point
of contact
As our client, you will never have to go through a call centre. You will have the direct contact details of your Morgan Clark Loss Assessor and their assistant.
Resolving your claim as
quickly as possible

Being equally
represented
Without Morgan Clark on your side, you will be negotiating with the Loss Adjuster alone. Would you consider going to court without a solicitor
on your side?
Unrivalled industry
experience

Loss Assessors.
Keeping you
in control
You choose the way your claim is managed – some people like to manage each step with their Loss Assessor, others prefer to let their Assessor take the reins completely – the choice is yours.
Significant reduction
in stress
It is easy to underestimate the time and energy that goes into running a claim. Having an expert guide you through the process will reduce this stress and allow you to focus on
your day to day life.
Despite all the assurances from both my broker and insurer that they had made me the best possible offer, you were still able to secure a settlement that was more than double the figures they had originally proposed. I had no idea bringing you on board would make such a big difference to the settlement.
I won’t hesitate to call you. Thanks again for the great service.
