After you lodge a claim, we will:
- Acknowledge receipt, and your dedicated Claims Consultant will contact you to introduce themselves
- Request repair quotes and photos of all relevant damages for us to assess. At times we may request further information from you such as service records or proof of ownership. We may even appoint an assessor or other independent professional to assist. If we do this, we’ll notify you.
- Proactively update you at least every 20 days on how your claim is progressing
- If you need a repairer, we have a service provider locator
Should you be in an accident that involves someone else, don’t forget that the police should be informed as soon as reasonably possible if someone is hurt. If the event occurred on the water, please also report the event as soon as reasonably possible to your relevant maritime authority (below). Taking note of the following information will help speed up the servicing of your claim:
- Date, time, location of the accident
- Name of the other skipper and the name of the owner of the other boat
- Name and type of the other boat
- Name and address of any injured persons
- Name of the other boat’s insurance company
Feel free to exchange this type of information but you should not admit fault. If you do, then we may be unable to defend the claim and protect you and we may reduce or refuse your claim to the extent we are prejudiced by your admission. If you think a witness might provide helpful support, record their name and contact details for future reference.
