How to manage your claim due to torrential rains in Spain The torrential rains in Spain have caused numerous material damages to homes, vehicles and businesses, which has forced many people to request help from the Insurance Compensation Consortium (CCS) to cover the losses. We explain all the steps in detail.

1. Check if your claim is eligible for compensation

Not all claims are automatically covered by the CCS. To obtain compensation, the event must have been officially declared as an "extraordinary risk". This means that it must have been confirmed by the National Institute of Meteorology or another authorized body as a torrential rain phenomenon.

It is advisable that you check the conditions of the CCS to make sure that your situation applies. Generally, the entity covers material damages caused by floods, torrential rains or winds exceeding 120 km/h. This point is essential before proceeding with the rest of the steps.

Your claim due to torrential rain is covered by your insurance premium with Banco Sabadell; by having an active policy, the Insurance Compensation Consortium can handle your claim and manage the corresponding compensation.

2. Gather all the necessary documentation

To facilitate the process, you will have to gather all the necessary documentation on the claim. Here we detail what you will need:

  • Damage report: Make a detailed list of all the material damage caused by the rain. Include a description of each object, its approximate value and photos as evidence.
  • Proof of payment of the insurance: The CCS requires you to prove that you had insurance in force that covered the affected property (home, car, etc.) at the time of the claim.
  • Expert report: Although it is not always necessary, having an expert report will help estimate the damage and support the claim.

Having everything in order and well documented will make the work of the CCS inspectors easier, which can speed up your claim process.

3. Submit your application to the Consortium with us

Once you have confirmed that the claim applies and you have all the documents, it is time to submit your application to the Insurance Compensation Consortium.

4. What guarantees do Sabadell Seguros' home and car policies offer?

Home and car policies are the most common insurance policies to protect families' main personal assets, since, regardless of the actual possession of these assets, being insured provides at least the guarantee of civil liability.

In general, both home and car insurance will compensate for damages caused if two conditions are met: that the damage is covered by the policy and that a weather event of these characteristics is not excluded from the insurance contract.

Damage caused by rain on the facades and roofs of buildings, the collection of the vehicle by the tow truck, accidents while travelling through areas affected by floods or even loss of income or loss of earnings, may be included in the guarantees.
