When a claim happens, we look beyond the cost

A claim can touch every part of a business – its finances, its operations, its reputation. At Travelers, our award-winning Claim team understands this, which is why we don't just manage the settlement. We stay focused on the broader impact throughout the whole process.

That starts with how our team works. Our people bring deep experience across a wide range of industries, and they draw on each other's expertise to make sure the right knowledge reaches the right place at the right time. From first notification through to resolution, we work closely with brokers and their clients – because collaboration isn't an add-on to our claims handling. It's how we do it.

Start a claim

New incidents may be reported to us in one of four ways:

For customer convenience, we do not require the completion of a formal claim form in most instances. A few brief details including policy number, date of incident and the circumstances of the loss will be sufficient for us to set up the claim.

Let us know about your type of claim, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

In their own words

The best measure of a claims service is what happens when it's put to the test. Here's what brokers and clients have said about ours.

I’ve loved working with Travelers compared to our previous insurers, particularly the claims handling side on the property. They get things sorted. The motor, in the main, has been far better too. We used to get so many complaints by lack of action from both of our two previous motor insurers. We never get any complaints since being with Travelers.

Meet our Claim team

When an incident happens, you need a team that understands your business as well as the claim. Our in-house Claim team brings together legal and technical expertise across a wide range of risks, so we're well placed to manage claims from first notification through to final settlement.

We also work with our customers before incidents arise. Understanding a business's operations helps us respond more effectively when it matters most – and it means our Claim team is never starting from scratch. It's an approach brokers have recognised too. In Insurance DataLab's 2026 Commercial Lines Claim Pulse research, they described our team as fast, knowledgeable and easy to work with, and clear at explaining every step of the process.
