Untangling Complex Claims

High-value equipment damaged in a loss often comes with limited information, coverage questions, or missing documentation, making it difficult to adjudicate the claim correctly. In these scenarios, claim adjusters need clear, defensible answers; they need ILC.

Balancing Cost and Coverage Decisions

When critical machinery and equipment, vital to a business's operation, are damaged, the decision between repair options and complete replacement can have a significant impact on the overall claim value. Without accurate technical validation, the risks of overpaying and under-serving the insured are real.

Beating the Clock on Claim Resolution

Each day that a claim remains open, the associated loss ratios and business interruption costs increase, highlighting the importance of prompt resolution to mitigate financial impacts. Rapid, fact-based assessments are crucial for maintaining timeliness and controlling costs.
