Home Insurance Claims

I could not recommend Owens McCarthy any higher. Following a very traumatic house fire resulting in the entire write off of the property they responded within hours and took care of everything. They are far more than insurance assessors, dealing not just with the insurance claim, but also looking after every last detail at a time of great stress to the family. In over 20 years of my own business I have never seen this level of professionalism and genuine care and concern for a client. Stephen Nolan of Owen McCarthy took care of every element on our behalf, from the rapid and excellent claim settlement to the organisation and management of the environmental damage caused and the instigation of the rebuild. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of us

After discovering an extremely bad leak in the ground floor of my house, Seamus O'Donohoe in Owens McCarthy was recommended to me to help with the insurance claim. Seamus was immediately contactable and reassuring from the outset. After an on-site house assessment, he handled everything on my behalf with my insurance company, from the initial reporting of the claim all the way through to the settlement of the claim. He went over and above to make sure I was kept informed and that the claim was processed quickly and efficiently and to ensure that the best settlement was made available to me. I cannot recommend Seamus and the service provided highly enough. A service truly worth every penny.

Owens McCarthy recently represented us when we suffered a chimney fire in our home. As a busy family with 3 small children and having never made an insurance claim before the prospect of dealing with it was so overwhelming that we considered not making a claim and living with the damage instead. Our insurance broker recommended Owens McCarthy and calling them was the best thing we could have done. From the first call we were put at ease and had full confidence in the assessor who came out to us within a day or two. He took control of the situation for us and we genuinely had very little to do other than provide the required information. The whole process was so straight forward and simple – it took a weight off our shoulders at a time when that was sorely needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Owens McCarthy and would call them again in a heartbeat if ever the need arises.

Owens McCarthy were recommended to us as Insurance assessors following a devastating house fire we had in December 2020. From our first telephone contact we were put at ease that our interests would be well looked after. In the intervening months until our insurance claim was settled we found the firm to be extremely professional and knowledgeable, patient and friendly. We always felt confident that Eamon and Karol knew how to handle the case to ensure we got a fair and equitable settlement. We would have no hesitation in recommending the firm.

Owens McCarthy were wonderful at taking us through all the difficult steps necessary to restore our house at a difficult time. We couldn't recommend their care and professionalism more highly.

Our home suffered a catastrophic fire, rendering us both homeless, and profoundly traumatised, literally overnight. We were completely overwhelmed, vulnerable, unable to cope with the complexities of all that had to be attended to. Everything that we owned, and valued, had been lost...and we felt utterly bereft. A friend recommended Owens McCarthy, and from the moment that we met with their team we knew that everything would be well. We were immediately comforted, guided, and reassured - the whole process was quickly demystified. From handling the myriad queries raised by insurers, to dealing with the forensic investigator and engineers - they simply took care of everything in a truly professional and empathetic manner. The negotiation process was extremely difficult, and the challenges faced seemed enormous at times, but they overcame all obstacles promptly and efficiently...securing a truly exceptional settlement - which allowed us to rebuild our home... and our lives. Without Owens McCarthy we would never have achieved anything like this outcome - and of that we are absolutely certain. We would without hesitation recommend Owens McCarthy, and their wonderful staff, and we cannot thank them enough for their support and guidance throughout what was without doubt the most traumatic episode that we have ever experienced.

I own a holiday home in Kenmare and have recently experienced substantial water damage to my property, and my broker suggested I contact Eoin McSwiney, to deal with my insurance claim. Throughout the whole process, Eoin has proved to be extremely helpful and efficient, and as I live in the UK, has kept me in touch through the process. He responded very quickly to assess the damage, and managed the claim to a successful conclusion, thus limiting my need to have any dialogue with the Insurer. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending him to act on your behalf.

We have used Owens McCarthy on several occasions to handle a burst pipe and storm. The took over with every aspect of the claim, handled all of the paperwork and saved us the time and the effort of dealing with the Insurance Company. We were delighted with the settlements which enabled us to repair our home completely and properly.
