Claims Support

Reporting your claim

• If a reported incident will likely result in a claim, report your claim as soon as possible.
• If you receive a Statement of Claim from an injured party, submit it immediately, there is a very limited period in which to respond to the statement of claim.
• If applicable, we will provide a proof of loss form for you to complete.
• Maintain documentation of all monetary costs related to the claim (repair work, hospital bills, lost income, etc).

Claims best practices

It is recommended that your organization has a policy to ensure all reported claims are dealt with, and should at least include:

• A procedure for reporting complaints.
• A description of how complaints will be dealt with, including:
  • corrective actions to be taken for specific problems (can refer to other policies)
  • how complaints will be prioritized, taking into consideration other routine maintenance and inspections
  • never ignore a complaint
• A procedure for documenting complaints and corrective measures (including the reason for not taking action, if that is the case).
• How your organization will take action to correct or take all other reasonable steps to prevent a loss as a result of the reported problem.
