    • What to do in the event of a Complaint or Claim

      Please remember, if any client makes a complaint or claim against you, it is important to contact your Insurance Broker for support and guidance as soon and as early in the process as possible. Don't wait for situations to escalate, your Broker is there for you, not to judge, but t provide the benefit that you purchase your insurance for. A complaint handled well may lead to a happy client for years to come, if handled badly, it could lead to a potentially stressful and time consuming claim. For a list of dos and don'ts in some common complaint situations, please see our Dos and Don'ts article under Claims Claims - Balens Ltd.
