Customer Claims Hub

On 15 September, our new customer claims hub will launch in the Claim section of our website.

Knowing what to do when a legal issue arises can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve created the Customer Claims Hub, a simple guide that explains each step of the claims journey.

The hub is split into eight easy-to-follow stages, helping customers understand what to expect from spotting a possible legal issue, making a claim to progressing through the legal process.

Importantly, it also highlights one of the most important things customers can do, which is to contact ARAG’s legal advice line. Early advice can often help resolve an issue before it becomes a claim, saving time, cost and stress.
