Being insured
Insurance
Let us start off with saying that here in the Netherlands you can get insurance for pretty much anything. Liability in all its forms, car, legal aid, health, ocean going vessels and puddle jumpers, home content, and so on and so forth. You name it, there’s certainly going to be an insurance policy available.
Risk Management
But clearly, it isn’t our purpose as risk managers to discover what type of insurance policy might be available. Risk management is about mapping out your risk profile: this could be about the legal consequences of guardianship, or inheritance laws, or for example, Dutch social security legislation. And there is always the need for protecting your possessions or your wealth, or the need to insure against the consequences of having a long, or shortened, life. Risk management is about identifying and resolving these issues, something that often can only be adequately done with a good insurance policy. In these cases we can determine what type of solutions the insurance market provides: which insurance carrier has the right policy for what you need? We are there to help find and compare the different solutions.... and price.
The fact that we are 100% independent, not affiliated with any insurance company, means that we can offer you useful, honest, comparisons. Nowadays we can even make use of sophisticated computer software to assist us in this task.
Only when we feel that we completely understand your risk situation, and know what the best solution is, are we ready to give you our advice. In taking our advice, we will arrange that the proposed solutions become real. We can apply for the required policies on your behalf, organise the necessary amendments to existing policies, and of course we will be checking if the policy the insurance carrier returns is in fact correct and what you wanted. And when your circumstances change, we will be monitoring with you how best to adapt your insurance portfolio to your new situation. That is why it is so important that you keep us advised of any such changes. Without your input our role will be limited. This job is called ‘risk management’, and it is something we take very seriously. They are your risks we are managing, after all!
Damage...claims?
And what if there is a claim? That is when you can find us right behind, or right next to you. All the way from initial damage assessment to extended damage claims, appointing experts and to the interaction with the insurance companies and counterparties involved. All the way up to the point where you have been fully compensated and your claim settled. That, we think, is risk management. It’s what we do. At your service!
