Common Denied Claims Claim Problems in Ballarat
Insurance companies use their own assessors who are incentivised to minimise payouts. Ballarat homeowners with denied claims damage regularly receive far less than they're entitled to. ClaimGuard's independent Ballarat advocates identify these tactics and fight back.
- Claim denied on non-disclosure grounds without proper basis
- Exclusion clauses incorrectly applied to refuse coverage
- Damage attributed to wear and tear without adequate investigation
- Proof of loss requirements used to stall or deny claims
- Late notification used as a pretext when no prejudice was caused
