Loss Protection Insurance is a little-known insurance product which it is low cost but can be of huge benefit to you. BiS insurance brokers Manchester, Chorley, Liverpool and Llandudno can afford you the peace of mind you need should loss occur in your business- no matter what type of loss it is.
Put simply, Loss Protection Insurance allows you to appoint your own claims expert, in the event of a property claim over £5,000, who acts independently for you. The costs of employing this expert Loss Adjuster are paid for by the insurance policy to help you prepare, negotiate and settle claims. You will be getting access to an expert claims adjuster who acts just for you.
Remember Insurance Companies use their own Loss Adjusters to negotiate the best claim settlement for them – someone working for you would be working to ensure you get the best possible settlement for you.
We work alongside them throughout a claim to ensure that they are aware of policy cover and anything else they need to know about your business.
Why Do I Need It?
For a number of reasons such as –
- Helping you achieve a fast and fair settlement of a loss or claim
- In the event of a major loss you can focus on what’s important to you, which in the case of a major fire, would be saving your business rather than your insurance claim. The recent flooding in the North West in December 2015 shows how any business can be hit by a large and unexpected claim.
Case Studies – we use a provider called Lorega for this product and the following link gives great examples of how they have helped businesses with claims.
