Excess or Insufficient Insurance

With Insufficient Insurance, the company is liable only with the ratio insured value over actual value. See CLAIMS  

 What must be done if damage occurs?

Assuming the insured/customer has taken all preventive actions in order to prevent and stop any accidental risks, once damage occurs, the insurer must try to stop further damages and call for official help from fire brigades, police etc. After the damage has occurred, the insured must call us for inspection on the site.  After necessary inspections are done and an expert sees the site, redemption is paid.  See CLAIMS.
