    Real Recovery Stories from Kenya

    Sarah's Home Fire - Nairobi

    "After a kitchen fire destroyed half our home, we didn't know where to start. The recovery assistance team found us temporary housing within hours, connected us with a contractor network, and even arranged counseling for our children who were traumatized by the event. Within 3 months, we were back home with everything restored."

    - Homeowner, Nairobi | Claim: KES 2.8M

    James' Business Flood - Mombasa

    "When flooding damaged our retail shop during the rainy season, we thought we'd lose everything. The business recovery team helped us relocate to a temporary space, coordinated with suppliers, and even helped with customer communications. We only lost 2 days of business instead of 2 months."

    - Shop Owner, Mombasa | Claim: KES 1.5M

    Grace's Car Accident - Kisumu

    "After a serious accident, I needed extensive medical care. The medical recovery coordinator arranged transportation to all my appointments, coordinated between three different specialists, and helped manage my prescriptions. I could focus on healing instead of logistics."

    - Professional, Kisumu | Claim: KES 850K

    David's Identity Theft - Nakuru

    "When someone stole my documents and opened fraudulent accounts, I was overwhelmed. The recovery service handled everything - credit monitoring, document replacement, dispute resolution. They caught fraudulent activity that saved me KES 300,000 in potential losses."

    - Teacher, Nakuru | No claim filed, prevention services

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I have to use the recovery services my insurer provides?

    No, but it's highly recommended. These services are pre-vetted, often free or discounted through your policy, and the providers have direct relationships with your insurer which can speed up approvals and payments.

    When should I contact recovery assistance services?

    Immediately after a covered loss. Many services are time-sensitive, and early intervention can prevent additional problems. Don't wait until your claim is approved - recovery assistance often starts while your claim is being processed.

    Are recovery services available for all types of insurance?

    Most comprehensive home, auto, and business insurance policies include some form of recovery assistance. The specific services vary by policy type and level of coverage. Review your policy documents or contact your agent to understand what's included.

    What if I need services beyond what's covered in my policy?

    Your recovery coordinator can help you access additional services at negotiated rates. While some services may require out-of-pocket payment, you'll typically pay less than retail rates due to the insurer's relationships with service providers.

    How long do recovery services last?

    This varies by service and policy. Temporary housing might be covered for 30-90 days, while counseling services might include 3-6 sessions. Some services like credit monitoring might continue for 12-24 months. Your recovery coordinator will clarify timelines for each service.

    Will using recovery services affect my premium?

    No. Recovery assistance services are separate from your claim settlement and typically don't impact your premium. They're considered part of your policy benefits and are designed to help you recover more quickly and completely.

    Tips for Maximizing Recovery Services

    Know Your Benefits Before You Need Them

    Review your policy's recovery assistance section now. Keep the 24/7 assistance number in your phone contacts so you can access help immediately after a loss.

    Contact Recovery Services Early

    Don't wait to see if you "really need help." Early intervention can prevent small problems from becoming major issues and often speeds up your overall recovery time.

    Keep Detailed Records

    Document all recovery services you receive, including dates, names of providers, and services rendered. This helps ensure proper coordination and can be useful for your claim documentation.

    Communicate Openly with Coordinators

    Share all your concerns and needs with your recovery coordinator. They can often connect you with resources you didn't know existed or help solve problems you thought were insurmountable.

    Don't Refuse Help Out of Pride

    Recovery services are part of your insurance benefits - you've already paid for them through your premiums. Using them isn't charity; it's smart use of your coverage.

    Stay Engaged Throughout Recovery

    Attend all scheduled check-ins and respond promptly to coordinator communications. Active participation in your recovery process leads to better outcomes and faster resolution.

    Ask About Extended Services

    If you're recovering more slowly than expected or need services beyond initial limits, ask about extensions or additional resources. Many insurers can provide extra support for complex situations.

    Provide Feedback

    Share your recovery service experience with your insurer. Your feedback helps improve services for future claimants and may reveal gaps in your own coverage that should be addressed.

    Remember: Recovery assistance is designed to help you return to normal as quickly and completely as possible. Take advantage of every service available to you - they can make the difference between a difficult situation and a manageable one.
