How are claims handled?

The insurance industry doesn’t have the greatest reputation when it comes to claims. Many people fear their insurer will go to any length possible to avoid paying claims. At Square One, we’re different. We’re there when you need us most.

How different? Legal jargon can be confusing, so we’ve created a transparency page to translate the legal language of your policy into plain English.

We’re committed to changing how you think of insurance. We’ll make sure your claim is handled quickly and fairly.
