Claims Handling

CLAIMS HANDLING
At Sarnia we offer a rapid response, 24/7, claims handling service for the following types of claims:-
· P&I
· FD&D
· H&M
· War Risk
· Marine Cargo
· Professional Indemnity
Our Claims Department is made up of professionals who possess a vast experience consisting of lawyers and qualified insurance personnel. Our priority is to ensure our clients’ interests are protected from the outset of a claim and potential exposure is minimised. We provide the appropriate liaison with underwriters, P&I correspondents, surveyors, technical experts, lawyers and claimants on behalf of our clients. We are actively involved with our clients and insurers from first notification of a claim (or potential claim) up until the claim is either resolved, or settled. Our specialist knowledge of the various insurance policies enables us to ensure our clients either avoid, or settle a third party claim on the best possible terms, or maximise on recovery for claims involving damage to the vessel.
