Common issues

The most important aspect of negotiating theft insurance claims is being able to identify accurately the losses from a burglary and proving ownership of the items stolen. The biggest issues are:

  • Establishing liability so there can be no questions around settlement
  • Quantifying the loss
  • Demonstrating that sums insured in the policy were calculated accurately and adequately maintained
  • Investigating the cause of the incident to establish any potential for third party recovery, especially if the incident exposes a potential for underinsurance or no insurance

 

Our Expertise

We have a team of loss assessors who specialise in theft claims and understand how to present a claim so that you are more likely to obtain the right settlement from your insurers.

Why Appoint Us

It is not simply employing loss assessors to work on water damage claims, it is making loss assessors with experience of quantifying and negotiating theft claims available to policyholders that makes the real difference. Our team have unprecedented experience in this very difficult area.

Jargon Buster

It’s easy to get confused between Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters.

Loss Assessors are appointed by individuals and businesses to negotiate settlement of a claim with your insurers.

Loss Adjusters Traditionally, Loss Adjusters are appointed by the policyholder's insurers to assess the validity and size of the claim based on the policy terms & conditions. Harris Balcombe employ qualified Loss Adjusters who we have retrained to only look after the interests of the policyholder.
