To Report A Loss To This Program
|
|
Please report any claims, actions or suits directly to the claim manager as soon as possible to the appropriate office of Elliott Special Risks LP. The reporting condition of the policy requires that you report to the insurer any incidents 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 jeopardise the insurers 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 if your policy is written on a claims-made form, the policy contains certain restrictions that limit the reporting of losses after the policy has expired.
