Our Claims Handling Philosophy
Guided by a claims handling philosophy that has evolved from years of experience in the London market, our examiners strive to be fair and respectful, to adhere to the rules, and communicate with clarity. We endeavour to keep an eye on the big picture, keeping all parties in mind without losing sight of the important details so that valid, reasonable claims can be settled as promptly, economically, and professionally as possible.
More specifically, our claims handling philosophy involves:
- An aggressive, proactive, and thorough investigation of each and every claim
- Timeliness in claim handling and adjusting
- Detailed claims documentation with electronic notes
- Manager supervision, guidance, and input in the claims process
- Appropriate management of claims expenses
- Management that is active and involved in the litigation process
- Timeliness in loss reserving according to our clients’ respective reserve philosophies
- Valuating claims properly and economically
- Payment of claims only where insured or insurer is legally liable
- Realistic claims reserving in accordance with client guidelines and philosophy
