About Us

In the event of a loss our services would consist of:

  • An immediate review and explanation of the insurance policy. It is essential that the Insured fully understands the terminology within the policy document.
  • Confirmation of the adequacy of the sums insured.
  • A recommendation to instruct an Independent Forensic expert if necessary
  • An examination of the insured's various claim options
  • Preparation and negotiations as detailed below
  • Box

    STOCK

  • A physical count of the remaining stock in situ would be undertaken if possible.
  • A stock reconciliation would be prepared by our in - house forensic accountant.
  • Computer records would be examined along with any perpetual stock inventory.
  • The value of the stock would then be established at the date of the loss. The claim would be submitted and negotiated directly with the Loss Adjuster appointed by Insurers and the optimum settlement would be achieved.

    House

    Buildings

    We would establish the cost of the reinstatement of the damaged building by either preparing a detailed budget cost or by liasing with the design team appointed to reinstate the building. Should a market valuation be required in the event of the insured not wishing to reinstate then this would be obtained. Initially the scope of works would be agreed with the Loss Adjuster.

    Cog

    Plant & Machinery

    The plant and machinery would be examined to ascertain if restoration were possible or whether it needed replacing. Reports would be obtained from the manufacturers or specialist restoration companies and these would form the basis of this claim. The lead time of the replacement machinery would also be established and the Plant and Machinery register examined. Thereafter a claim would be prepared and negotiated with the appointed Loss Adjuster.

    Briefcase

    Business Interruption

    The Business Interruption policy deals with four sections:

  • Loss Of Turnover
  • Gross Profit
  • Savings
  • Increased Cost of Working
  • Each section would be continually monitored throughout the Indemnity period with interim claims being submitted to assist with cash flow. This claim can often overlap with aspects of the material damage claim. The historical turnover of the business achieved would be reviewed along with the current budgets and in management figures. Thereafter this part of the claim would be prepared, submitted and negotiated with the Loss Adjuster.
