Claims Preparation
CMA takes the heat of Preparing Claims

Suffered a major loss or damage to property?

CMA can assist in preparing the claim for submission to insurers and ensure compliance with Policy conditions and development of supporting documentation and cost materials.

The process of claiming compensation from an insurer requires proof of an insured event, compliance with policy terms, verification of the amount of the loss and finally determination of the effect of any exclusions and deductibles on the amount payable.

Failure to provide sufficient details of the claim particulars or inadvertent misdescription of the loss can result in delay, inadequate compensation or at worst wrongful repudiation of the claim. The small print in insurance policies, still even today, can be a minefield to the unwary claimant.

CMA has the resources and insurance claims expertise to ensure:

  • Correct completion of claim forms
  • Preparation of supporting statements.
  • Certification of compliance with Policy conditions
  • Valuation of lost or damaged property
  • Identification of additional benefits.
  • Arrange quotations for repair or replacement
  • Conduct negotiations with insurers

COSTS

In most instances the insurance policy provides coverage for external claims preparation cost, if not then CMA charges are confined to a small percentage of the loss (usually less than 1%) and are agreed prior to commencement of the commission. Experience has shown that the modest CMA charges are far outweighed by the additional compensation obtained in settling the claim.
