What if the matter has been ongoing for a while but my client has only just informed me?
Please notify us as soon as possible, providing all relevant information, in addition to an explanation for the late notification.
Can I put my client in contact with Hiscox directly?
If you feel it is more appropriate, you can put your client in contact with us directly. We are always happy to talk to insureds and will keep you updated on any developments as and when they occur.
Should my client inform their dissatisfied client that they have notified their insurers?
It is best to avoid doing so as this increases the likelihood that a claim will be made against your client. We will assist your client in managing the problem and in deciding on the most appropriate strategy.
What other additional information is useful?
In addition to the information mentioned in the ‘How to to make a claim’ section, any relevant background information is always useful for us to help build up a solid understanding of the problem.
Is my client allowed to make settlement offers?
We always take full account of your client’s views. No admissions of liability should be made or offers put forward without prior written agreement from us.
