August 15th is National Relaxation Day, a whole day dedicated to winding down and taking it easy. Life can be hard. With endless responsibilities and pressures, it can often feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders- especially if you’re undergoing a property insurance claim. This is why National Relaxation Day is vital for everyone.
It’s important to remember that we all need a break from time-to-time. If you’re struggling to manage your own property insurance claim, or feel overwhelmed by the process, know that if you choose to appoint us as your loss assessor, we’re on your side. Here are 5 ways to help you relax during your property insurance claim.
The 5 Ways
1) We understand the insurance claim process inside-out
Having worked on the other side of the property insurance claims market, we know the process inside-out. We have brought all that knowledge and experience to our role as loss assessors, and feel honoured to be able to take all the stress of an insurance claim off the shoulders of property owners across the country.
Our director Simon Colburn states that “We can’t change the fact that you have suffered a loss, but we can ensure that the entire claims process that follows, is as painless and stress-free as possible. We understand, empathise and genuinely care – as well as having all the expertise to fight in your corner.”
2) We’re on your side
Many people going through a property insurance claim alone describe having a “penny drop moment”, when they realise that the loss adjuster is actually working on behalf of the insurer- not them. This can be incredibly frustrating and unfortunately due to the loss assessing industry being unheard of in the media and from insurers, you may not know where to turn. The question we should all be asking is just how could the financial services system expect someone who has no insurance expertise, to negotiate with an expert with endless experience?
Once you’ve appointed us, we won’t stop until we’ve done all in our power to gain you your rightful entitlement from the cover you bought. Perseverance is our middle name. We help you overcome the deliberately constructed hurdles in the insurance claim process and take the worry and tears away. Even if the loss adjuster has already turned down your claim, it’s well worth getting in touch for a second opinion.
3) We understand the jargon so you don’t have to
Being unable to understand insurance jargon can be extremely frustrating and is often exploited by insurers and the loss adjusters who represent them. In fact, our director Gary Rogers warns that, “policyholders are usually powerless to argue with their loss adjuster because they are not experts in insurance terminology”. Simply put, you’re a layman or woman trying to speak the same language as someone who has endless experience under their belt. This means that finding the right words, understanding the jargon and formulating a line of argument for your case can be extremely difficult. We emphasise with you and understand that the process is completely unfair.
By appointing a Loss Assessor like us, you’ll have someone on your side throughout your property insurance claim, interpreting policy clauses and translating insurance jargon so you don’t have to.
4) We’re skilled negotiators
Negotiating an insurance claim settlement can be extremely daunting, especially when you’re not an expert. It can also take a lot of time and energy, leading to increased levels of stress and anxiety, something you don’t want on National relaxation day!
We do all the negotiating with the loss adjuster on your behalf, we argue your case and battle to get the settlement you deserve. We have years of experience in claim negotiations and are experts in migrating problems with loss adjusters. Most people, if any, get their rightful settlement by going at their claim alone. That’s why having someone skilled in your corner counts.
5) We source tradespeople on your behalf
Often your insurer will ask you to source tradespeople quotes to repair your damaged property. By appointing a Loss Assessor, you no longer have to undertake this tedious process on your own. That means no need to get tradespeople quotes, no prospect of becoming a victim of cowboy or less-skilled tradespeople and no need to assess the quality of workmanship.
What’s more, is that by appointing Property Claim Assist, we even provide our service for FREE if you choose our own network of trusted and vetted contractors to restore your property.
