Property Claims Loss Assessors Ltd. (PCLA)

Loss assessors serving the insured in Ireland

Property Claims Loss Assessors Ltd. (PCLA) is an Irish insurance advisory firm that works on behalf of the public, not the insurance companies. Founded in June 2015 by Peter Mulvaney and Dean McLoughlin, together they have over 40 years of experience in the insurance sector. The firm presents itself as Ireland's leading and most trusted loss assessors and operates on a no win, no fee basis.

Representing the insured against the insurer

The company defines itself as an insurance advisory firm acting on behalf of the public. The client hires them directly, not the insurer, and their role is to secure the full settlement to which the client is entitled in order to repair the damage and restore the property to its original condition. If no settlement is achieved, the company does not charge.
