Our Services

As an Insurance Intermediary we provide advice in relation to General Insurance and Life Assurance products and services including pensions and investments.  We do not guarantee nor make representations in regard to, and expressly disclaim responsibility for the financial security of Insurance Companies and Product Producers with which we place business. Goggin Insurances are members of Brokers Ireland.

General Insurance Services

Inception & Renewal

We provide advice in relation to the following general insurance products: Household, Motor, Commercial, Public Liability and Employers Liability. Depending on your instructions we can advise you in relation to the products of the Insurance Companies and Product Producers listed in Appendix 1 and we will work on your behalf to negotiate competitive renewal terms on your insurance cover.  We offer general insurance services based on a fair analysis of the market which means that we request quotes and research the product offerings of a number of providers before making a recommendation as to which is most suitable for your needs.

We will also offer assistance to you in relation to processing claims, on policies taken out through with our firm. This assistance is provided either directly by our staff and/or with the assistance of an appointed loss assessor.

Important Notice: To ensure continuity of cover, where you have an existing policy which is due to expire and we have been unable to contact you, we may put continuing cover in force whilst awaiting your instruction. You will be liable for any premiums payable to the relevant insurer for the period of time between renewals and when we receive your instruction. You have the right not to avail of this service and should advise us accordingly.

Credit Finance

If you require credit terms, we may be able to arrange finance on your behalf, our list of Credit Finance appointments is listed in Appendix 1.  Alternatively, a monthly direct debit facility (if available) may be operated by the insurance company. We cannot accept instalments paid to our office.

Life Assurance, Investments & Pensions

Life Assurance companies provide many products such as Life Cover, Specified Illness cover, Income Protection, Savings, Investments, Pensions and PRSA’s. Depending on your individual circumstances, we may provide you with advice in relation to any of these products and recommend product(s) that are suitable for your needs. With your agreement, we may review the policies you take out on a periodic basis to ensure you are kept informed as to their benefit and to check whether they are still suitable for your needs. We will also provide assistance to you for any queries you may have in relation to the policies or in the event of a claim during the life of the policies. While Goggin Insurances considers the approach taken by Life Companies in terms of integrating sustainability risks into their product offering, as we have selected one preferred provider for Investment Products, analysis when choosing a suitable investment product for you will be limited to products provided by Irish Life Assurance PLC. However, should you specifically seek a financial product which has sustainable investment as its sole/specific objective, and no such product is available from the range of products offered by Irish Life PLC, Goggin Insurances will conduct analysis of the product offerings available from other insurance undertakings, lenders and product producers with whom Goggin Insurances hold written appointments.

Goggin Insurances hold written appointments with the following Life Assurance companies.

Aviva Life and Pensions	Irish Life Assurance PLC
New Ireland Assurance	Royal London
Standard Life Assurance	Zurich Life

 

Goggin Insurances has selected one preferred product producer, Irish Life Assurance PLC, for life insurance plans (including life assurance, specified illness cover, income protection cover, unit linked savings, investments and pension plans), tracker bonds and personal retirement savings accounts (PRSAs). Analysis of the market will be limited to products provided by Irish Life Assurance PLC. However, in the event that Irish Life is unable to accept a particular plan in relation to life assurance, pension or investment we will place your business elsewhere if possible.

Conflict of Interest

It is the policy of Goggin Insurances to avoid conflicts of interest in providing you with general or life insurance and services and we take all reasonable steps to do so. If this is not possible, we will notify you in writing before providing you with any product or service and if you do not wish to continue because of the conflict we will not proceed with the product or service. .

Goggin Insurances has a written complaints procedure for the effective handling of all complaints. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint in writing within 5 working days.

Our firm will exercise its legal rights to receive payments due to it from clients for business services provided. In particular, without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the firm will seek reimbursement for all payments made to insurers on behalf of clients where the firm has acted in good faith in renewing a policy of insurance for the client. Insurers and other product producers may withdraw benefits or cover in the event of default on payments due under policies of insurance or other products arranged for you. We refer you to policy documents or product terms for the details of such provisions.

Disclosure of Information

In order to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, before we provide any regulated financial services, we are obliged to request such information and documents from you as we consider necessary.

In entering in to or renewing an insurance policy you are required to answer all questions posed by us or the insurer honestly and with reasonable care. Specific questions will be asked. Where you do not provide additional information (after being requested to do so) it can be presumed that the information previously provided remains unchanged. An insurer may repudiate liability or limit the amount paid on foot of the contract of insurance, only if it establishes that non-disclosure of material information was an effective cause of the insurer entering into the relevant contract of insurance and on the terms on which it did.

Completed proposal forms or Statements of Facts will be provided to you.  These are  important documents as they form the basis of insurance contract between the insurer and you the consumer.  You should review and confirm that the answers contained are true and accurate.

Commercial Customers: Non-Consumer Disclosure of Information

For commercial customers that are non-consumers (i.e. have turnover of >€3m), it is essential that, at renewal ,you should bring to our attention any material alteration in risk such as changes of address or use of premises. Any failure to disclose material information may invalidate a claim and render your policy void.

A Section 30 receipt is issued for all monies received. In relation to any credit due to you, this will be refunded to you by way of a company cheque unless otherwise requested by you i.e., by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT).

Important Information about the Consumer Insurance Contracts Act 2019

The consumer Insurance Contracts Act 2019 (“CICA”) was introduced to increase protection for consumers  entering into contracts of insurance – whether the insurance is for house, car, health or travel (“general insurance”) or for life insurance which including mortgage protection, income protection, serious illness cover and insurance based investment products such as pensions and investment products. CICA applies to “consumers” which includes private individuals and business that have turnover of less than €3m.             

CICA is being implemented in 2 parts in September 2020 and September 2021. CICA will apply to new contracts of insurance entered into after 1 September 2020 e.g. car or home insurance renewal after 1 September 2020 or a new life insurance policy entered into after that date.

What you need to know

The main changes brought about by CICA that should be aware of are summarised below. Insurance companies are obliged to reflect CICA requirements and changes in their policies and as your (broker/adviser) we should draw your attention to them also.

1. Change to “Insurable Interest” requirement: It has been a standard requirement that in order to make a claim on an insurance policy the person making the claim must have “an insurable interest” in the policy. Put simply, insurable interest means that the person making the claim must suffer a financial loss or certain other kinds of losses arising from the loss or damage to what is insured. So, for example, you have an insurable interest in your house or in the life of your partner/spouse but you do not have an insurable interest in your next door neighbour’s house. Under CICA a claim cannot be rejected simply on the basis that the consumer does not have a valid interest in the subject matter of the insurance contract at the time the contract was entered or at the time of the loss. A policyholder will still be required to demonstrate loss in order to make a valid claim and, in an exception to the change, a consumer may be required to have an interest in the subject matter of a contract of insurance where that insurance contract is a contract of indemnity1.
2. Cooling Off Period: Under CICA consumers now have the right to cancel insurance policies within 14 days of the contract of insurance being concluded. In order to do this, consumers must give notice in writing. It is important to note that prior to CICA consumers already have the benefit of a 30 day cooling off period in respect of life policies, and 14 days of general insurance policies that were sold on a non-face to face basis (distance sales). The CICA cooling off right does not apply to life insurance contracts with a duration of less than 6 months or general insurance contracts with a duration of less than a month. Insurance companies cannot impose charges for cancelling a policy, but they are entitled to the portion of the premium that was due between the policy being issued and cancelled.
3. Post contractual rights and duties: Consumers are required to pay premiums within a reasonable time (which is typically specified at point of sale or in the policy) of the insurance contract being entered into. CICA allows an insurer to include an “alteration of risk” policy in a contract, which may be used as grounds for declining a claim. This clause would cover circumstances where there has been such a material change to the risk insured that, on the true construction of the policy, the insurer did not agree to cover that risk. An example of a material alteration of risk might be building a wooden extension to a house close to a forest where there is history of forest fires and not informing the insurer.
4. Claims Handling – duties of insured and insurer: Consumers are required to cooperate with the insurer in the investigation of claims, including by responding to reasonable requests for information in an honest and reasonably careful manner; and to notify claims in a reasonable time. Both consumers and insurers are obliged to share any material information about the claim they become aware of after the claim is submitted. Insurers cannot reject claims solely on the grounds that they were notified late. Insurers are required to handle claims promptly and fairly, to engage fully with the consumer including providing an opportunity to the consumer to submit relevant evidence which could inform the insurer’s determination as regards the claim. Insurers are required to inform consumers of the amount a claim has been settled for and the reason(s) for its being settled or so disposed of in the way it was. Insurers must pay any agreed settlement promptly. Claims that are either wholly or partly based on information that are false or misleading entitle the insurer to cancel the insurance contract and reject the claim.
5. Property claims – withholding of claim proceeds pending completion of works: Where there is a provision in a policy whereby the insurer is not obliged to pay the full amount unless and until, the repair, replacement or re-instatement work involved has been completed and specified documentation has been furnished to the insurer; the claim settlement deferment amount cannot exceed 5% of the claim settlement amount where the claim settlement amount is less than €40,000, or 10% of the claim settlement amount where the claim settlement is more than €40,000.
6. Pre-Contractual and Renewal Duties of Consumer and Insurer: The pre-contractual duty of disclosure of a consumer is confined to providing responses to questions asked by the insurer and the consumer is not under any duty to volunteer any information over and above that required by such questions. Previously the consumer was under a duty to disclose any information that might be relevant. At renewal consumers are no longer under an obligation to provide the insurer with any additional information in relation to changes unless the insurer asks specific questions on paper or on another durable medium or requests the consumer to update information previously provided. Consumers are under a duty to respond honestly and with reasonable care
7. Proportionate Remedies for Misrepresentation: In the event that a consumer is found to have misrepresented a fact that comes to light at a later date when a claim is made by the consumer there are three possible outcomes. If the misrepresentation was innocent the insurance company must pay the claim. If the misrepresentation was negligent (i.e. the consumer did not take due care in answering questions raised), the insurance company must do what they would have done if they had been aware of the full facts. If the misrepresentation was fraudulent (i.e. deliberate and intended to mislead) the insurer can refuse the claim and void the contract.
8. Renewal of Contract of Insurance: Renewal notices will now include details of up to the previous 5 years’ premiums and claims history. The number of years’ history will depend on the number of years you have been with your insurer.

Please note that information above is provided for general guidance only, it is not legal advice. If you are uncertain about whether any of the changes in CICA apply to your personal circumstances please bring these to my/our attention and I/we will assist of we can. We may however direct you to the insurer or suggest that you get legal advice.

1*A contract of indemnity basically involves one party promising the other party to make good its losses. These losses may arise either due to the conduct of the other party or that somebody else. To indemnify something basically means to make good a loss.
