The Institute of Public Loss Assessors

The Institute of Public Loss Assessors was founded 35 years ago, and is the recognised professional body representing Loss Assessors in the UK.

All of the members of the Institute are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority, and hold appropriate Professional Indemnity Insurance.

A Loss Assessor represents the policyholder when they need to submit an Insurance claim, and our members have experience in dealing with all types of claim, for both private individuals and business.

Your Assessor will handle all aspects of the claims process, meeting with the insurers representatives, the Loss Adjuster or any other professional appointed by them, preparing your claim and negotiating the best possible settlement for you.

They will also handle cases where liability for your claim has been refused by insurers, or where problems have arisen regarding policy liability or delays.

An insurance claim can be a devastating event for a business or household, and your insurers will appoint an expert to represent them in all negotiations.

In order that you can receive the best possible advice, and ensure that you receive the full entitlement from your insurance policy, you should also have claims professionals working on your behalf, and appoint a member of the Institute to represent you.

Please contact us with details of your claim and we will arrange for one of our members to contact you and advise how they can help.

If you are considering appointing an Assessor, please ensure that they are Regulated by the FSA, as all our members are. If you are unsure, you can visit the FSA website to check.
