What should I do if my insurance company rejects my claim?
Many policyholders experience this: they report a claim – and suddenly receive a rejection. Often, this isn't because the claim is unjustified, but due to missing documents or missed deadlines. This article explains how to react to a rejection , avoid mistakes, and secure your rights.
Why insurance companies reject claims
Incomplete documentation : invoices, photos or expert opinions are missing.
Missed deadlines : Damage report submitted too late
Lack of evidence : Damage not sufficiently documented
Misunderstandings regarding policy terms : Coverage excluded or unclear
With the right approach, you can still enforce your claim.
Act step-by-step
Review documents: Collect invoices, photos, and cost estimates.
Digital submission: Fast, secure and traceable via Risk-BOT

Tips for communicating with the insurance company
Always in writing and verifiable
