Canopius is setting a new standard for claims performance. Our aim is to push the boundaries of customer service excellence through an empowered, collaborative and innovative approach to claims that makes us the envy of the market.
We don’t see claims as a tick box process. Our claims service is a differentiating factor for Canopius; a superior claims service will mean that brokers want to place their business with Canopius, and insureds want to renew with us.
The provision of a responsive, expert, value-adding service is at the forefront of everything we do and we aim to put our customers at the heart of all of our decisions.
We work collaboratively with insureds and brokers in order to understand the unique challenge each claim presents and ensure that a proactive approach is taken to resolve a claim swiftly. When making claims decisions, we will act fairly and aim to always communicate with honesty, clarity, warmth and respect; particularly when there are issues as to policy coverage.
Our adjusters are highly skilled with a wealth of industry and sector experience, and many of our professionals have worked in top law firms, loss adjusters and insurance brokers. Where we need to engage experts to provide a more bespoke service, we strategically partner with a panel of specialised professional service providers who understand our vision, whilst we remain involved and accountable throughout. This is equally applicable where we delegate claims handling authority to third parties.
We work closely with our underwriters to understand your business; the claims team is structured to ensure close alignment with underwriters and we work collaboratively to ensure the best outcome.
