The discovery that someone has violated the privacy of your home or business is traumatic and the distress that invariably arises when you’re making an insurance claim can be as bad as or even worse than the actual incident.

So often the written statement that insurance loss adjusters demand of you regarding the circumstances of the burglary leaves you, the innocent victim, feeling like the criminal rather than the victim. The onus of proving ownership and its value will always rest with you and if you don’t have the receipts and valuations to back up your claim then there is every possibility that your Insurers will not pay you out.

The loss adjuster may try to claim as being impartial and independent but our experience doesn’t, indeed, at a lecture the Insurance Ombudsman himself told his audience of loss adjusters that it’s easy to see why people are wary of loss adjusters. “You always tell them how independent you are but, when there is a problem, you always weigh in favour of the insurance company”.

In fact, one of the loss adjusters actually stated himself that he has “never been able to subscribe to the idea of impartially. If I am paid by an insurer, then I cannot be impartial”.
