CLAIM DENIED: DELAY IN REPORTING THEFT
Are you aware of your policy’s reporting requirements?
A logistics company’s claim for a stolen trailer was rejected due to a 12-day delay in notifying the insurer. Despite promptly informing the police and tracking company, the insurer argued that the delay hindered their investigator’s ability to recover the trailer. The Ombudsman for Short-Term Insurance (OSTI) upheld the insurer’s decision, emphasizing that immediate reporting
is crucial, as the insurer’s investigator could have conducted a more extensive search, potentially increasing the chances of recovery.
