Your queries answered.
We will review the claim submitted and decide whether it is necessary to appoint a loss adjuster who is an independent external party to assist us in the investigation and assessment of the claim.
Claims payout under the policy will be based on but not limited to the following factors.
- Basis of cover
- Proceeds from salvage sales
- Underinsurance
Basis of cover
Indemnity Basis: The claim amount is derived by taking into account depreciation or wear and tear.
Replacement Value Basis: The claim amount payable is the replacement value of the same form without depreciation or wear and tear. In the event that there is any improvement or betterment to the original property, deductions shall be made on the replacement value to reflect such improvement or betterment.
Proceeds from salvage sales
Any proceeds received from a salvage sale will be deducted from the loss amount.
Underinsurance
In the event the sum insured is less than the value of the insured property at the time of loss, the claim amount payable will be reduced proportionately.
Deductible/excess is the amount of the claim you have to bear for every claim you file. This amount is specified in your policy contract.
If you require the assistance of a loss adjuster after office hours, you may contact any of the loss adjuster listed below. Kindly ensure that you have a valid policy with Income & provide your policy number to the loss adjuster when you contact them on the matter.
At the same time, please submit your claim to us by sending it to clineclaims@income.com.sg and inform us of the loss adjuster appointed. We will follow up with the appointed loss adjuster and you will be notified of the outcome of you claim after we receive the loss adjuster’s final report.
