Quantifying Financial Damages in Complex Insurance Claims
The forensic accounting partner Business Owners, Public Adjusters, Brokers, and Attorneys trust to substantiate their Actual Loss Sustained.
Our Services
-
We convert raw financial data into clear, policy-compliant loss projections. Our objective evaluations ensure that every dollar of lost income is accurately documented, defended, and recovered.
-
Spending money to minimize a loss is necessary, but complex to claim. We identify and substantiate every dollar spent to expedite recovery - like rush shipping or equipment rentals - so your client is rewarded, not penalized, for getting back to business sooner.
-
While the claim is pending, cash is king. We model post-disaster cash flow scenarios to help you prioritize payables, manage debt service, and navigate the "liquidity gap" between the loss event and the final settlement check.
-
When negotiations stall, we step in as the named Appraiser for the Business Income portion of the claim. We provide the "competent and disinterested" valuation required to settle the dispute and reach a binding award in a timely manner without litigation.
