Claims Services

PREVENT LOSS AND MAXIMIZE RECOVERY

Delivering a business solution to a legal problem. Founded on claims recovery services, we have decades of experience mitigating risk and maximizing recovery when losses occur. That includes short-tail claims, toxic tort long-tail claims, and complex environmental claims.

MAKE CONFIDENT DECISIONS

Analyzing the true costs associated with risk management and insurance programs in a way that is easy to understand. We take the guesswork out of what can often be a very complicated process.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are not looking to take the place of your insurance broker. Insurance brokers focus on insurance policy placement and are compensated based on the insurance you purchase for your company. Our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment of all your insurance policies to determine if they are adequate and cost-effective. Then we advise you on the best way to restructure your policies to capture cost savings. We are experienced, and ready to face both complex risk management and employee benefits challenges. Our fee-for-service compensation structure eliminates conflict of interest. We are on your side.
