Our Approach

Expertise, layered with technology.

Complex claims aren’t resolved by software, and they aren’t resolved by instinct alone. We pair senior adjusters with a disciplined data spine, so every file moves with judgment and proof.

In plain language

What we are, and what that means for you.

Royal Claims is a Delegated Claims Administrator (DCA), the modern term for what the industry long called a third-party administrator (TPA). It’s one role: we hold delegated authority to handle claims to the standard the policy promises, for the Lloyd’s market and Canadian carriers alike.

What “delegated” means

Authority to determine claims

Coverholders, syndicates, carriers, and MGAs delegate claims authority to us under their binders and guidelines. We determine, document, and settle within agreed authority, with bordereaux-ready reporting and London-standard files.

DCA & TPA · one standard

The same discipline, every market

Whether the business is placed at Lloyd’s or with a Canadian carrier or self-insured (the work a TPA performs), the standard doesn’t change: full transparency into every reserve, note, and decision.

Our role: DCA & TPA, explained

The sequence

Four steps. Every file.

01

Intake

Acknowledged same business daySingle structured first notice

Every detail captured once, cleanly: coverage, parties, exposure, urgency. Structured intake means nothing is re-asked, nothing is lost, and triage starts immediately.

02

Expert adjuster

Senior specialist, matched to the lineNamed contact for the life of the file

The file is assigned to an adjuster who knows the line, not a queue. Decades of judgment applied from the first site visit to the final report.

03

Data & analysis

Live status, visible to youReserves reviewed on evidence

A technology spine runs beneath the file: live status, clean reserves, disciplined reporting cadence. Carriers and brokers see what we see, with no surprises at bordereau time.

04

Resolution

Defensible outcome, documentedClosed to bind-level standards

Fair, defensible outcomes: settled within authority, documented so thoroughly that audit, reinsurance, and the London market read the same clear story.
