Service Overview
Damage That May Be Covered
Many people are surprised by the types of incidents that may potentially be covered by their insurance policy.
Depending on your policy and the circumstances, claims may include:
- Power surges and electrical damage
- Lightning damage
- Liquid spills and accidental liquid damage
- Accidental damage to laptops and computers
- Damage caused by electrical faults
- Screen and display damage
- Damage caused by an external incident
- Damage occurring during a move or transport
- Theft or attempted theft resulting in equipment damage
- Fire, smoke or related damage
- Other accidental damage to insured IT equipment
Coverage varies between policies, so the final decision always rests with your insurer. Our role is to provide the technical assessment and supporting documentation needed to help your insurer evaluate the damage.
Professional Technical Damage Reports
A proper insurance assessment needs more than simply stating that a computer is broken.
We examine the equipment and document the relevant technical findings, which may include:
Â
- Equipment make, model and specifications
- Serial number and identification details
- Reported circumstances of the incident
- Physical and electronic damage identified
- Technical assessment of the likely damage
- Repair requirements
- Estimated repair costs
- Assessment of whether repair is practical and economical
- Replacement requirements where applicable
- Photographs and supporting evidence where appropriate
Â
The result is a clear, professional report that can be submitted to your insurer or broker.

Repair or Replacement Assessment
One of the important questions in an insurance claim is whether damaged equipment should be repaired or replaced.
CompuMaster can assess the equipment and provide the technical information required to make that determination.
Where repair is practical, we can provide a repair quotation.
Where the equipment is not economically repairable, we can document the reasons and provide the relevant replacement information.
Once an insurance claim has been approved, we can also assist with the repair where appropriate.
Not Sure If You Have a Claim?
You don’t need to know exactly what your policy covers before contacting us.
Insurance policies differ, and the circumstances surrounding an incident can make a significant difference to whether a claim is covered.
If you have experienced damage to your computer equipment and are unsure whether it is something you can claim for, speak to us first.
We can assess the technical situation, explain what we can document, and assist you with the appropriate insurance report or quotation.
There is no need to guess what caused the failure or what documentation your insurer may require.
