Important

If an incident takes place and you are unsure whether it is likely to give rise to a claim, you should notify us by email.

If a claim is made against you as an individual, complete as many details as possible, and provide us with any associated documentation that you feel we should be aware of.

If reporting on behalf of a corporate member, please ensure you’re authorised to do so as we cannot accept reports from unauthorised contacts. If a claim arises and you have not notified us of the adverse incident, you will not be able to seek assistance.
