Challenge 1: Initial Claim Rejection
The Issue:
Upon submitting a fire damage claim to their insurer, the client received an immediate rejection. The insurance loss adjuster argued that the fire originated from a neighboring business, and thus, any compensation should be pursued through that third party.
Our Response:
Altheqa intervened decisively. We:
- Collected detailed incident documentation
- Secured expert fire analysis reports
- Obtained witness testimonies
- Constructed a case proving coverage applicability under the client’s own policy
Outcome:
After persistent communication and legal positioning, the insurer reversed the rejection and accepted the claim.
Challenge 2: Disputed Claim Valuation
The Issue:
Although the claim was now accepted, the compensation proposed by the insurer was substantially below the actual value of losses—ignoring consequential damages such as sales disruption.
Our Strategy:
We escalated the case by:
Outcome:
A thorough re-evaluation followed, resulting in a revised and fair compensation amount.
- Engaging directly with the reinsurers
- Submitting a comprehensive loss assessment, including business interruption and revenue loss
- Presenting a breakdown of material damages alongside future risk projections
Final Result: Full Reimbursement Secured
Within a few months, our client received:
- Full compensation for showroom repairs and lost inventory
- Reimbursement for consequential losses, including loss of sales during downtime
This resolution allowed the client to swiftly rebuild and relaunch operations with minimal business disruption.
