Most people don’t know they can get help with their insurance claim — until something goes wrong.
They lodge a claim, assume it will be simple, and then hear the words:

“We’ve assessed it — unfortunately, it’s not covered.”

That’s where I come in.

What I Do: Assist With Claims That Aren’t So Straightforward

As an independent insurance assessor, my role is to:

  • Investigate the damage properly

  • Interpret the policy wording fairly

  • Assist you in presenting evidence that supports your claim

  • Work alongside (not against) brokers, adjusters, and insurers to find a resolution

This isn’t about pushing back blindly — it’s about getting it right.

Why Claims Get Declined (and What’s Often Missing)

Many claims are denied because:

  • The insurer classifies the damage as “gradual” without full investigation

  • There’s no invasive inspection — just photos and assumptions

  • The original scope misses hidden or secondary damage

  • The client doesn’t know how to respond or what evidence to provide

What’s often missing is a clear, independent technical assessment that translates site conditions into insurer language — with policy logic to back it up.

Who I Help Most Often

I assist claims by bringing on-site evidence, scope logic, and policy interpretation together — so it’s no longer guesswork or confusion.

Why the Right Help Matters

This isn’t a high-volume industry. It’s a high-stakes one.
When your claim is declined or delayed, you're not just facing paperwork — you’re dealing with:

  • A roof that still leaks

  • A kitchen that’s half-repaired

  • Thousands in potential out-of-pocket costs

That’s why I do this. Because getting your home or building properly repaired shouldn’t depend on how well you understand insurance fine print.

Need Help With a Claim?

If something doesn’t feel right — if you’ve been declined, under-scoped, or left waiting — I can help assess your situation and provide the evidence your claim needs.
