Oakleafe Claims Wales understands that Fire and Smoke related damage can have a devastating effect on your business and significantly disrupt your normal routine. Submitting and managing an insurance claim due to fire can often be a complicated task that is extremely time-consuming which could have been spent on working on your business. We have significant experience in handling commercial fire and smoke damage insurance claims. We aim to get your business up and running as quickly as possible after a commercial business fire claim.
Ideally, we would be in place to assist you at the start of the claim process, but we can also rescue a claim that is already underway. Once appointed we will immediately give you access to the specialists that the Insurance company will use on their side to minimise or even refuse to pay out. This way we ensure you get your full entitlement in all respects. You will have ON YOUR SIDE a claims technician, Chartered Surveyor, Project manager, Restoration Experts, and Building Contractors.
LOSS ASSESSINGBusiness Interruption Insurance covers financial losses that are a direct consequence of an incident. Business Interruption will assist with quantifying loss of profit, loss of rental and additional staff costs.
Your Insurance company will appoint a loss adjuster to look after their interests. They are paid by them to assess the validity of the claim and see how they can reduce or even refuse to pay the claim. They are NOT on your side.
We will manage the entire process and get what you are covered for. Let us present the options to you for a final decision. We will take away the stress and aggravation of dealing with Insurers and their appointed representatives. As well as your Building Insurance Claims, our Loss Assessors will quantify your material, stock, and contents losses & our Chartered Surveyors will scope the damage to the building. Business Interruption and Increased Costs of Working (ICOWs) are negotiated to ensure you are returned to the pre-loss growth track.
