○ How we deal with a third party liability claim
– A third party claim must be made against you and reported to us during the period of insurance.
– We will consider whether you are responsible for causing the damage or loss.
– If we do not consider you responsible, we will reject the claim and send a rejection letter to you and the person claiming liability against you.
– If you are responsible, we will negotiate with the other party on your behalf. We will attempt to reach a settlement agreement for the amount of the loss, damage or injury.
– If we cannot reach a settlement, or if we receive a summons from the court, we will go to court on your behalf. This means that we take over your rights to defend yourself.
– The law allows three years from the date of the claim event, for the other person to claim from you.
○ What we will pay
– We will pay the actual amount of liability, legal costs or expenses up to the limits shown in the policy schedule.
