The Inigo Claims Experience
Visit any insurance company, and you’ll see promises about claims expertise and efficiency. To be frank, that should go without saying.
To us, a high-quality claims experience means so much more.
It’s about appreciating everyone is different and understanding your unique challenges. It’s about building a partnership on the foundations of a refreshingly human approach. One that trusts us to lead the way, take decisive action and be a calming influence – when and while you need us.
And it’s about proactively working to benefit everyone through insightful data analysis and creating innovative, bold solutions based on the lessons learned.
And yes. These core principles are underpinned by our responsive, nimble and expert claims team – empowered to make the right decisions at the right time to provide the best possible outcome.
Because some things really shouldn’t remain unsaid.
