Philosophy
The Claim Department at Markel American Insurance Company believes:
  • That through prompt contact of the insured and claimant we can investigate, evaluate, and resolve the claim in a timely manner with checks for claim settlements sent out the same day as the agreement.
  • That the best Claim Examiners are those who have specialized training and experience with the type of property involved in the loss.
  • That legitimate questions may arise in the interpretation of a policy, and such disputes should be weighed in favor of our policyholders.
  • That we help keep premiums affordable for our policyholders by only paying what is owed under the policy – and vigorously fighting incidents of insurance fraud.
  • That when a claim is not covered under a policy, the insured deserves a prompt notification in writing; and when possible, be given suggestions on how to proceed to diminish their loss, or avoid similar situations in the future.
  • That we demand the same standard of professionalism and excellence of those assisting us in the claim investigation & damage appraisal as we demand of ourselves.
  • That if we fulfill our promise to provide second to none claim service, our policyholders will choose to remain customers of Markel American Insurance Company.
