Trois personnes en réunion d’affaires, souriantes et se serrant la main au-dessus d’une table.

Did you know that every policyholder is responsible for presenting and justifying their insurance claim?

On top of being shaken by the events, you are the one who bears the burden of proving your loss. It is therefore in your interest to know the provisions of your insurance contract well in order to protect your rights throughout the process.

4 Questions To Ask Yourself To Make an Informed Choice

Do It Yourself or Hire a Claims Adjuster Working for the Insured?

  • Do you think you know the provisions of your insurance contract well enough to be able to defend each of its clauses?
  • Do you trust your insurer to determine on its own the amount of compensation you will be entitled to?
  • Do you feel able to defend yourself in the event of a disagreement with your insurer?
  • Do you have the time and energy to handle all the steps surrounding your insurance claim on your own (building damage estimate, personal property inventory, preparation of living expense and new replacement value claims)?

9 Reasons To Choose Roy, Morissette et Associés

1. Your Adjuster Negotiates Better Compensation for You While Relieving You of Responsibility for Your Loss

The claims adjuster knows the particulars of your insurance coverage and the legal provisions, and has the tools to prepare complete claim documents. This allows you to get the most out of the clauses in your insurance contract.

“Thanks to his availability, patience, and skills, we came to a very advantageous settlement for me.” | Nadine DuSablon, Saint-Alban [Translated from French]

2. Your Adjuster Saves You Time and Energy

Finding the time needed to do the research and present all the evidence required by your insurer can prove difficult when you are already busy with work and family life. Hiring a claims adjuster makes it easier to get back to normal life.

6. Your Adjuster Helps You Avoid Mistakes That Could Complicate Your Settlement
