When Should a Liability Incident Be Reported?
Liability incidents can be complex, and it’s always better to err on the side of caution whenever an event occurs that might lead to a claim. Submitting a “notice only” brings the situation to our claims department’s attention, allowing us to assess the details and determine if a formal claim is needed. By reporting early, you help ensure any potential exposure is identified and documented right away. Our dedicated claims team is here to support you, so if a policyholder experiences an incident that could become a claim, please submit it for review under the headline “Notice Only.” Once received, we will review and either log the file for reference or advise if there’s a need to open a claim.
