Third Party Claims Assistance
Early in December, the FSA issued a short report following their review of third party capture, they found that:
• Only a small proportion of claims are settled unrepresented
• Most insurers have processes which safeguard third parties
• The data is inconclusive as to whether under-settlement is occurring
The FSA set out their expectations of insurers, for example that insurers should have identifiable and accessible processes in place to mitigate the potential risks to third parties but did not specifically mention any aspect other than compensation. The FSA stated that they support the ABI’s initiative to create an industry code of practice and that this was expected “early 2010”
ABI:Third party claims assistance ensures that claimants get the best deal
Monday, 07, Dec 2009
Responding to the publication today by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of its review of the practice of insurers contacting directly a person with a potential claim against their policyholder (third party claims assistance), Nick Starling, the ABI’s Director of General Insurance and Health, said:
"If an insurer contacts an injured third party it will be to ensure that they get fair compensation and the best possible rehabilitative care more quickly than through the legal process. In doing so, insurers will ensure that the person is fully aware of their legal rights and options."
"The FSA's guidance, combined with our own code of practice which we will be publishing shortly will ensure that claimants get the best possible deal as quickly as possible. It will also reduce legal costs, which all customers end up paying for through higher premiums"
