Commercial & Business Claims

Commercial losses are decided on documentation and accounting, not impressions

A commercial loss usually has two files running at once: the physical damage file and the financial loss file. Both have to be built. A well-documented building estimate paired with an undocumented income loss still produces an incomplete claim.

For large or multi-building losses, call and we can discuss what documentation to assemble first.

Complex claims are not bigger residential claims.

They are different files entirely.

Multiple estimates, consultants, leases, schedules of values, and financial records have to agree with each other before a carrier's file can be tested.

Complex estimating and expert coordination

Larger losses often need more than one discipline: detailed estimating, engineering or cause analysis, forensic accounting, industrial hygiene, or equipment specialists. Part of the work is deciding which experts a claim actually requires and making sure their reports address the questions the carrier's file raises.

Let's see the estimates, the policy, and the financials.
