With any fire damage insurance claim, there are two main elements that need to be considered;

1. Primary Damage = Damage is caused by direct flames to the building or to objects inside of the building.
2. Secondary Damage = Damage is caused by corrosive substances such as smoke and water from extinguishing the fire.

Secondary fire damage can often cause the most damage to the building. This is because smoke and soot can work its way throughout the structure.

Secondary damage is often very hard to prove, especially to an untrained amateur homeowner. An experienced fire damage assessor will not only identify all the obvious fire damage, but will also be able to detect the hidden damage. Secondary damage must be pointed out to the insurance company’s loss adjuster at the time of their inspection. If not, this damage will simply be ignored, leaving you with a poorly repaired fire damaged house.

Do I need an assessor to make a claim?

Experienced Insurance assessors play a vital role in processing and managing fire damage insurance claims. Homeowners that handle their own fire insurance claims, quickly realise that they are out of their depth and a specialist is required.

Your insurance company employ their own specialists, known as loss adjusters. They will interpret the policy in favour of the insurance company. An amateur homeowner is no match for a specialist loss adjuster. Your Insurance Company will pay the loss adjuster to minimise your claim payout, thereby saving money and increasing profits.

What does a Loss Assessor do?

1. Report your claim to your insurance company – Claims Assist will contact your insurance company on your behalf. Your insurance company will appoint their own fire claims adjuster to deal with your claim on their behalf. The insurance adjuster works solely for the insurance company, not for you!
2. Meet with the insurance Loss Adjuster – The inspection of the fire damage property is where the full extent of the necessary repair work is outlined and agreed.
3. Insurance Claim preparation – Claims Assist will compile a comprehensive scope of works & costings of all the fire and smoke damage to your home. We prepare and process other documentation that may be required. This may be necessary to validate your fire insurance claim and get insurers to accept liability and pay for your loss or damage.
4. Insurance Claim submission – Our insurance loss assessors will undertake detailed negotiation of the amount of settlement with the insurance loss adjuster. These negotiations will ensure you receive the maximum payout you are entitled to under your insurance policy.
5. Acceptance of a settlement € – Once the maximum settlement figure has been reached, your approval is required prior to processing payment.
6. Receiving your settlement cheque – Claims Assist will continue to monitor your claim closely until you receive your settlement payment.

How Much do Insurance Assessors Charge?

Insurance assessors charge a percentage of the overall claim settlement. The standard industry rate is typically 10% plus vat. This percentage may vary depending on the type & extent of property damage. Fees are completely performance based. Claims Assist more than cover their costs. This is achieved by an in-depth knowledge of insurance policies, construction technology and building rates.

Just wanted to write a quick note here to say how thankful I am to Claims Assist and especially John Mannion for all they done for me and my family. We had the horrible experience of having a fire! After the Fire Brigade Crews left we were advised to contact Claims Assist immediately and within hours they were out to us. They arranged a place for us to stay, they contacted and met with my insurance company and they even arranged a builder for us to undertake all the repair works. Yes having a fire is a very traumatic experience but Claims Assist certainly helped us with their comforting and reassuring words and their experience in insurance claims. Very happy with our settlement! Thanks again Claims Assist
