Flying into action

A media company's drone crashed on rocks in the midst of filming. We listened to them and understood they needed to be sure their claim would be honoured before buying a replacement.

Failure to complete filming that day would lose them the contract with their client. The broker called our Claims team at 11:17am.

Establishing that the drone was beyond repair we were able to verbally agree that the drone was a 'total loss'; that their client's claim was valid and a replacement could be sourced.

We moved on immediately to prepare the documents the insured would need and were able to get a confirmation of settlement to them by 12:05pm, just 48 minutes from the time we were notified of the problem.

The client purchased a new drone the same day, completed filming and fulfilled their contract.

Both broker and client expressed their appreciation for our understanding and ability to work outside the formal claims process.
