Has your business been robbed?
Business Theft Claims
A business robbery is devastating; thieves go straight for valuables, cash and the tech devices upon which your entire business depends. As well as grabbing anything of worth, they usually ransack the entire place as well, effectively shutting down business while you frantically try to count your losses and figure out what’s what.
To make matters worse, your insurers will try to drag out your claim, deflecting liability where possible and checking you meet every criteria in a long, drawn out process.
Knights will expertly take over your claim and, using our vast experience and skill in this area, get you the best settlement possible, as fast as possible, so you can get your business running smoothly again with minimal interruption and full loss recuperation.

There has been a theft at my business! What should I do?
First and foremost, it's important to report the burglary to the police as soon as possible. You'll get a crime reference number, which you'll need in order to make an insurance claim.
You should also take steps to secure the point of entry and prevent any further burglaries from taking place. This may involve installing a security system or changing the locks on your doors.
You should also look around carefully and make a list of everything that was stolen. This will be important for insurance purposes. You should then call your insurance company and let them know what happened. They will likely send out a loss adjuster to determine the value of the lost property.
Note: It is best if you contact a loss assessor to help you get the highest settlement for your claim.
How do I make a claim for business theft?
If your business has been the victim of theft, you will need to take some specific steps in order to make a claim. The first thing you should do is contact the police and file a report. This will give you an official document that can be used as evidence in your insurance claim.
Next, you will need to gather all of the documentation that you have relating to the theft, including receipts, invoices, and any other records. You will then need to contact your insurance company and submit a claim. Be sure to include all of the documentation that you have gathered. The insurance company will likely require an investigation, and they may even send out their own adjuster to assess the theft.
If you want a smooth and hassle-free claims process, contact a loss assessor to help you deal with the claim. Loss assessors, like us at Knights use years of experience and legal know-how to take over your claims and get you the best compensation for the theft.
Will my insurance cover my entire business theft claim?
It depends on your insurance policy. Some policies will cover the entire claim, while others will only cover a portion of it. If you're underinsured, you may run into problems.
Either way, a loss assessor can help you determine the value of your lost goods and file a claim with your insurer to ensure you get the highest possible settlement according to your policy.
