Our customer-centric approach to claims places Property at its heart, with a dedicated team managing incidents from notification to final settlement. The team’s process incorporates the following:

Pre-loss catastrophe scenario planning

Customers are invited to stress-test policy response and the effectiveness of Business Continuity Planning following typical catastrophic loss scenarios. This enables us to advise on possible claim outcomes and provide pre-loss solutions to possible post-loss challenges.

Large loss project management

Immediately following a major incident, local claims experts are summoned and supported by the London-based Global Major Loss Team. Early relationship management minimises misunderstandings, building trust to achieve early settlement.

Early payments

Aid cash flow management and provide confidence to invest in loss mitigation measures and capital expenditure. They also demonstrate Zurich’s commitment to their customers.
