Understanding the Claims Process: A Step-by-Step Guide for Policyholders

Filing an insurance claim can be overwhelming, especially when policyholders are dealing with an unexpected loss. Whether it’s property damage, theft, or business interruption, knowing how to navigate the claims process efficiently can make all the difference in getting a quick and fair settlement.

At Kinetic Risk Solutions, we believe in transparency and simplicity—ensuring that brokers and their clients understand exactly what to expect when making a claim.

1. When Should You File a Claim?

Policyholders should file a claim if they experience:
Property Damage – Fire, storms, floods, or vandalism.
Theft or Burglary – Stolen goods, break-ins, or fraud-related losses.
Liability Issues – Accidents or damages involving third parties.
Business Interruption – Events that halt or disrupt normal business operations.

2. The Step-by-Step Claims Process

Filing a claim doesn’t have to be stressful. Here’s what policyholders should do:

Step 1: Report the Incident Immediately
  • For theft or burglary, contact the police and obtain a case number.
  • For damages, document everything with photos/videos.
  • For business-related claims, notify your insurance broker as soon as possible.
Step 2: Notify Kinetic Risk Solutions

Policyholders should reach out to their broker, who will then initiate the claims process with Kinetic Risk Solutions.

  • Provide all necessary documents (invoices, police reports, photos, or other evidence).
  • Describe the extent of the damage or loss in detail.
Step 3: Claims Review & Assessment

Once the claim is submitted, Kinetic Risk Solutions will:
✅ Assign a dedicated claims assessor to evaluate the situation.
✅ Work with relevant parties (insurers, assessors, third-party experts).
✅ Ensure that all policy terms and conditions are met for a valid claim.

Step 4: Claim Approval & Settlement
  • If approved, the settlement will be processed quickly based on policy terms.
  • Payments are made either directly to the policyholder or to service providers (e.g., repair contractors).
Step 5: Claim Closure & Follow-Up

Once settled, our team ensures that the policyholder has:

  • Received full compensation according to their policy.
  • A clear understanding of any changes in coverage.
  • Ongoing support for any future insurance needs.
