Following a number of enquiries relating to the insurance market position on the handling of “snow damage” claims resulting in property damage, we can now confirm that following conversations with the key players in the market, that they will deal with “snow damage” claims.
The manner in which they settle the claims may vary but claims will be entertained.
The following companies have confirmed this position.
• AXA
• AVIVA
• Allianz
• RSA
• Zurich
• FBD
• Travellers
• Chubb
• Benchmark
• Hickey Clarke and Langan
Naturally enough all claims are subject to the terms and conditions of the individual’s policy. An example of this would be on a farm policy where storm cover is in force, in this circumstance damage by snow would be covered, otherwise cover wouldn’t apply.
