    To Report A Loss To This Program
    Because of the highly specialized nature of our coverage, please report any claims, actions or suits directly:


    email: claims@elliottsr.com

    * Please send all faxes to the attention of the Claims Department


    The reporting condition of the policy requires that you report to the insurer any incident that might give rise to a claim, even though no such claim has yet been received.

    Liability claims for this class of business may often follow months or years after the event itself. Failure to report an incident promptly may jeopardize the insurer's investigation and defence of a subsequent legal action. To avoid the risk that individual losses may be denied as a result of late reporting, we would encourage you to report all such incidents promptly.

    Please note that these policies are written on a claims-made form. A claims-made policy contains certain restrictions that limit the reporting of losses after the policy has expired.
