Adjusting Solutions, utilising our IT, forensic accounting and insurance experience, can support other adjusting practices (subject to normal rules of conflict and confidentiality) by bolstering or supplementing your existing resources. We do not see ourselves as competition to you but rather we provide complementary services in specific areas. As we remain committed to being a niche player our involvement is without risk of business competition or client loss.
Some possible scenarios are set out below:
- Business Interruption claims. Most adjusters are property focussed but should that exclude them from handling major commercial claims? We can work alongside you and provide the necessary expertise to analyse and manage and the BI claim while balancing MD and BI considerations to mitigate the overall loss.
- Multi-claimant product liability claims, including group actions. These claims can be very high profile and develop quickly with serious brand and commercial issues for the businesses involved. We can co-ordinate the PR and Corporate aspects and lead the development and management of a bespoke claims notification and handling process.
- Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry and Aquaculture Industries. Specialist industries where a correct understanding of the processes involved is critical to successful claims handling. We can provide a technical review of both causation and quantum. We can assist in identifying the correct claims strategy and ensure that the most appropriate and effective use is made of industry experts.
- IT and new technology related liability claims. An industry where identifying how losses occurred and the consequent impact can be complex with serious financial effects. We, with our specialist IT capability, can investigate hardware, software, security and connectivity issues, identifying cause, the impact on quantum and can evaluate potential risk management solutions.
- Financial Loss. Whenever a contractual claim arises there is potential for financial loss, which may well exceed any damage claim. With our combination of adjusting and forensic accounting expertise, we can extract the relevant financial data pertinent to contractual terms, undertake appropriate analysis and relate this to potential legal liability and policy application over a range of industries, businesses and professions to give a sound based for negotiations or court appearance.
In all scenarios our aim is to work on a team basis to ensure the highest level of expertise that will advantage your client whilst enhancing your relationship. You benefit from having access to additional specialists but only incur cost when chargeable work is carried on – in accountant speak we cease to be an overhead cost.
