The recent hailstorm in our area caused a lot of damage to vehicles, houses and businesses, damages which were also reported to insurance companies (where insurance policies were in force).
He spoke yesterday regarding how the compensation process will proceed Peloponnisos FM 104,1, The president of the insurers of Southwest Greece and vice-president of the Panhellenic Federation of Insurance Intermediaries Makis Michalatos. “There is no mechanism in the world, other than private insurance, to repair one’s asset. The branded insurance companies have clear terms and within these terms there is also the hail”, said the vice-president of POAD and added: “We have to discuss with the professional mediator and choose the right one.

Just as we look for the right doctor for an operation, the same is true for the right insurer. Evidence is required for all coverages. For the hail, a relevant document from the EMY is required. For the insurance company to know exactly when there was a severe hailstorm. Not all sufferers need to collect it. One or two customer papers at the insurance company are enough and cover the whole spectrum. Then we will turn to our mediator, not to some answering machine, to some bank, to some internet. That’s why the world pays us, following all, to be by their side. Now, there is no time limit for the declaration. Someone may be absent abroad or working. Many years ago, they told you that you should do it within 2-3 days. The only thing insurance companies are following now is fraud. Security is not a product, it is a service. The accountant, the lawyer, the doctor and the insurer are the four heavy services. In these we must have the best by our side”.
Summarizing, if there is hail and we have damage to the car, we check the terms of our policy and we contact our insurer. Also, we ask if there are collaborating garages. In most cases, the cost will be little or nothing.
