Here we briefly summarize the types of claim we principally handle. If you don’t see what you are looking for, tell us and we can discuss whether we can conscientiously take it on. Successful claim outcomes revolve around a combination of factors, including thinking clearly, writing clearly, communicating clearly with assureds about underwriters’ expectations and ensuring that surveyors produce coherent and comprehensive reports. These are all elements of the claim process that become second nature during a successful career.
