Claims Consultancy
This is the most important service which we provide to the public. In the minds of the Insured, the insurance policies are full of traps and fine prints that appears to sabotage the claimant. As insurance is a very technical field, there are many ways, methods and strategies that the Insurers can use to deny or to reduce the claims. We have very good experience in handling very complicated claims where all documents were destroyed by fire and expertise in extraordinary claims whereby the Insurer has classified as “Suspicious Claims”.


These are the areas that an ordinary Insured will be bogged down with technicalities and there are many obstacles, both legal as well as technical that the loss adjusters can utilise to deny or to reduce the amount payable. We have both theoretical, legal and practical experts in all these sectors to assist the Insured to handle the loss adjusters or the Insurers. This is where we can assist the Insured to straighten things out and pave the way for the maximum amount payable. We will put in every effort to ensure that the Insured’s rights are met. Our experience have ensure that our customers have secured a minimum of over 90% which, if they have handled on their own, will only result in between 0% to 60% at best. We are the ones that can make a difference, we are in effect the claims equaliser.
