Insurance claim support explained
What is a loss assessor?
A loss assessor is an independent insurance claims professional appointed by you, the policyholder. Their role is to assess the damage, prepare and present your claim, interpret your policy, and negotiate directly with the insurer to help secure the full settlement you are entitled to.
This differs from a loss adjuster, who is appointed by the insurance company to assess the claim on its behalf. A loss assessor works for you, not the insurer.
You may also see this role referred to as an insurance assessor, insurance loss assessor, claims assessor or public loss assessor. While the terminology can vary, the role is the same: to represent your interests as the policyholder throughout the claims process.
OMC Claims supports homeowners, landlords and businesses across Ireland, from our loss assessors in Dublin to local teams in every county, helping them manage property insurance claims with confidence from the first inspection through to final settlement.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Common questions about loss assessors in Ireland
What does a loss assessor do?
A loss assessor works for the policyholder. They assess the damage to your property, prepare the claim documentation, interpret your policy and negotiate directly with the insurer and their appointed loss adjuster. Their role is to make sure your claim is properly presented and that you receive the full settlement your policy entitles you to.
What is the difference between a loss assessor and a loss adjuster?
A loss assessor is appointed by you and works in your interest. A loss adjuster is appointed by the insurance company to assess the claim from the insurer’s perspective. Appointing a loss assessor means you have an experienced claims professional representing your side of the claim.
How much does a loss assessor cost in Ireland?
We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation. If you appoint us, our fee is typically 10% + VAT of the final settlement, agreed in advance. The exact fee can vary depending on the size and complexity of the claim.
Is a loss assessor the same as an insurance assessor?
Yes, in practice. In Ireland, people use several terms for the same role: insurance assessor, claims assessor, public loss assessor and independent loss assessor all describe a professional appointed by you, the policyholder, to manage your claim. Whatever the term, OMC Claims acts for you, not the insurance company.
Who pays for a loss assessor?
The loss assessor’s fee is usually paid from the settlement proceeds and agreed before work begins. Some insurance policies may include cover for professional claim preparation costs, which we can review with you during the initial consultation.
Do I need a loss assessor for my insurance claim?
You are not legally required to appoint a loss assessor. However, your insurer may appoint a loss adjuster to assess the claim from their perspective. If the damage is significant, complex or disputed, appointing a loss assessor can help ensure your claim is complete, accurate and professionally negotiated.
Does OMC Claims cover all of Ireland?
Yes. OMC Claims provides loss assessor services across all 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. Our team supports home insurance claims, business insurance claims and complex property losses nationwide.
When should I contact a loss assessor?
You should contact a loss assessor as early as possible, ideally before submitting detailed information to your insurer or agreeing a settlement. Early advice helps protect your position, preserve evidence and avoid mistakes that could affect the value of your claim.
