R & to Excellence B Dedicated Claims Staff at HUB International Works on Your Behalf BY: BARRY HOGAN, PRESIDENT, GAMBLE HUB INTERNATIONAL O ne of the hallmarks of HUB International is their staff of dedicated insurance brokerage professionals. Coupled with local offices located all across North America, this allows clients to benefit from both the resources of a large insurance brokerage firm and the expertise that comes only from local experts. The dedicated claims staff at HUB International is able to work on your behalf in order to help you move smoothly through the claims process with the insurance company you are working with. You never really know how good the insurance coverage you have is until you actually need to make a claim. A large part of our job as your broker is to make sure you are insured with the right insurance market. The claims team working at HUB is there at all times to help make sure that the claims process does not hit any bumps in the road and goes smoothly regardless of the situation. The concept of a “dedicated” staff may be a bit foreign to some, so it bears a bit of explaining: A dedicated staff is a staff that does nothing but their specific job. For the claims staff, this means that they only handle claims. They are, thus, able to regularly have interaction with clients and service providers and know how to make the process go as smoothly as it possible can. Should you have a situation in which you need to make a claim, don’t hesitate to contact your broker, and they can work together with you to get in contact with our claims specialists.
