Skip Tracing for Insurance Providers

How can Insurance Providers benefit from our Skip Tracing services?

Skip Tracing Australia provides services to Insurance Providers to assist with asset recovery, claims investigations, risk mitigation, business information, reporting requirements, and debt collection. 

Here are some key scenarios where Insurance Providers will benefit from using our professional Skip Tracing service.

With the help of Skip Tracing Australia, insurance providers can enhance their ability to investigate claims, reduce fraud, maintain contact with policyholders, comply with legal standards, and manage financial risks effectively.

  • Claim Investigation

Insurance companies often need to investigate claims thoroughly to prevent fraud. Skip tracers can help locate claimants, witnesses, or others involved in a claim who might provide vital information or evidence.

  • Recovering Subrogation

In cases where an insurance company seeks to recover funds from a third party responsible for a loss (subrogation), skip tracers can be crucial in locating the responsible party or their assets for recovery purposes.

  • Policyholder Contact

Insurance companies may need to contact policyholders for reasons critical to the policy's maintenance, such as renewals, updates, or important notifications. If policyholders have moved or changed their contact details without notifying the insurer, skip tracers can locate them to ensure continuous communication.

  • Unclaimed Assets

Insurance companies sometimes need to locate beneficiaries of policies to disburse benefits, especially if the beneficiaries are unaware of their entitlements or have moved without providing forwarding information.

  • Legal and Compliance Requirements

Insurance companies are often required to make diligent efforts to contact policyholders or beneficiaries before escheating funds to the state as unclaimed property. Skip tracers can assist in these efforts, helping the company comply with legal obligations.

  • Fraud Detection and Prevention

Our team of Licensed Investigators and Skip tracers are qualified and licensed to investigate potential fraud by locating individuals suspected of fraudulent activities, such as staging accidents or filing false claims, thereby protecting the insurance company from financial losses.

  • Due Diligence

When underwriting policies or settling claims, insurance companies must perform due diligence to assess risk accurately and confirm claim validity. Skip tracing can be a vital part of this process, ensuring that all relevant parties are identified and located.

  • Risk Management

By effectively locating clients or debtors and securing assets or repayments, skip tracers help banks and insurance companies mitigate financial risks, thereby protecting their bottom line.

  • Asset Location

In certain types of insurance, like surety bonding, the insurance company might need to locate and claim assets if the principal fails to meet their obligations. Skip tracers can locate these assets for recovery or liquidation.

  • Legal Proceedings

If an Insurance company is involved in legal proceedings against a client, they may need to serve legal documents. Skip tracers can locate the individuals or entities involved to ensure that they are properly served and the legal process can proceed.

  • Locating a Driver

If your Business deals with Vehicle Insurance, you may need to locate the driver at fault in a vehicle collision, in order to recover vehicle excess costs. With our Skip Tracing services, we can locate them for you.

  • Locate a Witness

If your Business deals with Vehicle or Injury Compensation Insurance, you may need to locate witness to a crash or accident, in order to verify the details of a claim OR, to investigate a fraudulent claim. Our team of Skip Tracers can locate them for you.
