Burglary Insurance Claims in Ireland
Protecting your property, your settlement, and your peace of mind
A burglary or attempted break‑in is more than a financial loss, it’s a major disruption to your home or business. From damaged doors and windows to stolen items and security concerns, the aftermath can be overwhelming.
At AIA Loss Assessors, we manage the entire claim on your behalf. We assess the damage, document all losses, prepare your claim, and negotiate directly with the insurer to secure the full settlement you’re entitled to.
Here are some tips on what to do immediately if you think you’ve been burgled:
- If you find that your home has been burgled, call Gardai immediately.
- Do not clean up, move or touch anything until the Gardai have had chance to inspect the scene as you could damage vital evidence. You will then be required to provide a statement as well fingerprints. Photographs of the crime scene will also be taken.
- If your bank or credit cards have been taken, call their emergency number and have them stopped immediately. These services are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
- Ask for the Pulse reference number of the crime from your Garda contact, you will need it when filling in documentation for your burglary insurance claim.
- Check your property for damage and make a list of items that are missing. If possible the contents list for insurance claim should include model and serial numbers, as well as any receipts you may have.
- We will assist you in preparing a contents schedule of all stolen and damaged items for presentation to your insurance company and their loss adjuster.
- We will then contact your insurance company on your behalf, making them aware of the burglary and provide them with your Pulse number and inventory. We will act on your behalf to ensure a swift and stress free conclusion.
- Once the Gardai have concluded their investigation, it’s worth reviewing your home or business security. (Burglar alarms, locks on ground floor windows etc.)
