Declare claim
Has a claim arisen at your Home?
What is a claim?
A claim is any damage or loss caused by an event that occurs suddenly, accidentally and on an unexpected basis, with consequences set forth in the contract’s coverage. For example, the breakage of glass or a sanitary item as a result of a blow.
On the other hand, damage or breakages that occur due to the continued use and wear and tear as a result of the passage of time are not deemed to be a claim. For example, the chipping of paint over time.
