Stephen Clancy has been appointed as motor engineer and claims assessor with the law firm HOMS Assist.

Clancy has over 20 years’ experience in vehicle-damage claims and the motor industry, and previously worked with Gerard M Doyle and Assess Ireland, dealing directly with insurance companies.

He acts as a conduit between insurance, legal representatives and garages and, in his new role, Stephen will specialise in all types of motor-damage claims, and will attempt to minimise client stress.

Burden

He said: “I am delighted to join the team at HOMS Assist, in a role that will take the burden away from clients in what is traditionally a stressful period following a motoring accident. This is a unique offering, which makes sense for garages, as well as for clients, because they don't have to chase and negotiate with insurance companies for payment.”

Partner Robert Bourke said: “With his wealth of motoring-claims expertise, Stephen is a valuable addition to the team, and we are delighted to welcome him.”
