This is a critical and time-consuming process - no matter what you believe or what you have been told, you are NOT insured until the insurer has investigated the circumstances & accepts liability for the claim. Only then can a claim progress. Without proper guidance, this can be a minefield to navigate, as you may unknowingly affect your claim without realising it.
