Malicious Damage & Riot Insurance Claim Help | ICS | Brighton & London

If your property is the victim of malicious damage, it can be extremely upsetting. Damage from rioting can be more widespread and less targeted, but is no less distressing if it happens to your property. If you run a business, the damage caused may be so extreme that you are forced to stop trading for a period of time, which will result in reduced turnover and lost profits.

In the aftermath of the incident, it can be extremely stressful to prepare and submit a malicious damage insurance claim at the same time as trying to repair the damage, as well as deal with the emotional impact of the damage to your home or business. This stress is compounded if the insurer or their loss adjuster are contesting or trying to argue down the value of your malicious damage claim.

Malicious damage by tenants can also be stressful. Not all landlord policies cover this and insurers will often use an exclusion to try and repudiate a valid claim. Policyholders often do not know how to approach this especially where void periods and loss of rent are important.

An independent loss assessor like ICS can help to properly document all the malicious damage, then prepare, present and defend your insurance claim for you, keeping you informed every step of the way. This removes the stress from the process and allows you to focus on getting your property repaired or your business trading again.

Malicious Damage Claims

Riot insurance Claims

Rioting can cause widespread damage to entire neighbourhoods, resulting in broken windows, stolen goods and even arson. The police response to rioting can also cause further damage, with tear gas permanently damaging furnishings if it gets inside a property and seeps into wallpaper and carpets.

Many policies will cover riot insurance claims, but you must prove that the damage was caused by the rioters. You must also ensure that all the damage is properly accounted for at the start of the claim, which is an important reason to have an independent loss assessor catalogue the damage for you.
