You don’t really think about your insurance until it’s time to claim.
That’s when the process suddenly becomes real. Your car’s been in an accident. Your home has been broken into, and alongside the stress of what’s happened, a different set of questions starts showing up.
Who do I contact?
What happens next?
Am I actually covered for this?
How long is this all going to take?
On paper, the claims process sounds straightforward. You submit your claim, the insurer assesses it, and the outcome follows.
In reality, it rarely feels that simple.
You’re trying to piece together what happened while still dealing with the disruption itself. You’re sending through documents and photos, answering questions, and trying to understand how your policy applies to the situation you’re faced with.
Then comes the waiting. Waiting for updates. Waiting for clarity. Waiting to understand what the outcome will actually be.
This is where the difference between direct insurance and working with a broker starts to matter.
With a direct insurer, you deal directly with the insurer’s claims team throughout the process. And for straightforward claims, that may work perfectly well. But you’re still the one managing things on your side, following up, asking questions, and trying to make sense of everything as it unfolds.
With a broker, you’re not navigating the process alone.
The insurer still handles the claim, but your broker helps guide the process from your side, making sure the right information is submitted, following up when needed, explaining outcomes clearly, and stepping in when something doesn’t feel right.
It doesn’t change what your policy covers. But it can completely change how supported and informed you feel while going through the process.
