If you have any questions or concerns regarding our Complaints Handling Protocol or if you require any further information on how to make a complaint, please feel free to contact our Complaints Liaison Officer / Ombudsman ("CLO"). Complaints Handling Protocol For all matters other than matters relating to accessibility for persons with disabilities: Your first step should be to contact your broker, as your broker may be able to resolve the matter with you. Your broker can also provide contact information for Travelers Canada, if required. If the matter remains unresolved after having discussed it with your broker, then we encourage you to contact Travelers Canada directly. If you know the name of the Travelers Canada representative who is responsible for your policy or claim, please contact that person directly. If you are unsure of who to contact, ask your broker to provide you with general contact information for Travelers Canada, or to refer you to the Underwriter or Claims Service Representative assigned to your file. Before calling, please have your details and documents, including your policy number, accessible by you. In speaking with the Travelers Canada representative, explain your concerns and ask questions.
