CHU’s claims team has built a reputation for demonstrating empathy and expertise to deliver an efficient and quality claims customer experience. One recent example that highlights CHU’s commitment to best-in-class claims management is a challenging water and fire damage claim in Melbourne apartment.
A Complex Case of Fire and Water Damage
During the redevelopment of a vacant 10th-floor apartment, an unexpected incident occurred during construction activities that led to a fire outbreak. While the fire was being contained, the unsuspecting residents of the apartment below was affected by water damage and which seeped through the floors of the 10th floor, causing significant damage to ceiling, walls and the parquetry flooring within the apartment on the 9th floor.
This situation not only resulted in costly repairs but also significantly impacted the residents, a family who had lived in the apartment for over 20 years. Faced with a complex claim, CHU’s expertise and commitment to service became the key to a smooth resolution.
