Privacy Legal Counsel

Every year 6 billion SEK of personal accident insurance compensation go unclaimed in Sweden! Why so?

One of the main reasons is that it is complicated to go through the insurance claiming process, which requires time, knowledge, and patience.

With Insurello, there is no need to understand insurance-specific language, be equipped with plenty of time, or have a specific background. We want to help all people claim their accident insurance compensation smoothly and transparently online and change the insurance landscape for the better. Our vision is to rebalance the power between customers and the insurance companies, enabling fair compensation for all.
