How To Make A Damage To Property Claim

In claims of this nature, it is often important to get as much evidence as possible from the site of any Damage to Property, including photographic and other physical proof of the damage that has occurred. This can often make all the difference when making a claim, and so the quality of the evidence is vital.

The Irish Claims Board’s team of claim professionals deals with cases of this nature all the time, and they are able to advise you on the merits of your claim, together with the likelihood of success and possible outcomes.

Making a claim for Damage to Property can be a lengthy and difficult process.

This is because in many cases, there are multiple interested parties, including you, private companies and often your local authority. This all depends of course on the circumstances and location of the Damage to Property which took place.
