CLAIMS SERVICE
In addition to specialist placement broking, a key part of our offering and differentiator is to deliver an unrivalled claims service. We are known for having an outstanding and market leading claims division by both clients and the insurers. We assign a claims specialist to all our clients, who will be involved at the time of programme placement right through to the settlement of any claims. Our claims specialists have many years’ experience, some are qualified lawyers, others have worked at insurers prior to joining Paragon. Their involvement from day one ensures that we understand our clients’ businesses and how they want to handle claims, particularly complex claims. This has ensured that not only have we retained our clients over the years, but our clients have also continued their relationship with their insurers following the settlement of some significant matters.
