We also employ a dedicated team of fraud specialists to validate the particulars of a claim and technicians to inspect devices and validate the dates, times and causes of damage to a device are accurate.
If you make a fraudulent claim it is a criminal offence. We will inform the Police and may pass your information to the National Insurance Fraud Bureau which may affect your ability to get other types of insurance in the future.
