Insurance Evaluations

A Contested Claim
Without an Independent
Expert Is a Liability.

Grey-zone claims — legitimate but contested — sit unresolved because no one has produced a credible, independent evaluation. We place qualified evaluators who are not affiliated with the requesting carrier, produce defensible reports, and help claims teams resolve faster with a documented record behind every decision.

The Claims Evaluation Problem

Why contested claims sit open — and what finally closes them.

01

Claims sit in a grey zone — legitimate but contested — and adjusters don't have time to resolve them.

High-volume claims teams can't conduct deep independent analysis on every contested case. Without a credible outside opinion, the claim lingers, the claimant escalates, and litigation becomes the path of least resistance.

02

An evaluation that looks internally motivated doesn't survive bad faith scrutiny.

When a denial or reduction is based on an in-house review or a vendor with a long-standing carrier relationship, opposing counsel makes that relationship the story. Independent means genuinely independent — no ongoing referral arrangement with the requesting carrier.

03

Delayed evaluations cost more than the evaluation itself.

Every week a contested claim goes unevaluated is a week of management time, claimant dissatisfaction, and compounding litigation risk. The cost of a defensible independent report is a fraction of what a bad-faith claim costs to defend.

Claim Types We Cover

Every line of business. The right evaluator for each.

We match to the specific claim type — not a generalist who covers everything loosely.

Property Damage

Residential and commercial property loss — storm, fire, water, and structural damage assessment for disputed valuations and coverage questions.

Disability Claims

Long-term disability and short-term disability evaluations where the treating physician's opinion is contested. Specialty-matched physicians, full narrative reports.

Cyber & Technology Claims

Breach scope assessment, business interruption quantification, and forensic review for contested cyber insurance claims. Technical experts with insurance context.

Liability & Casualty

Independent evaluation of general liability, professional liability, and products liability claims where coverage or causation is in dispute.

Why carriers choose independent over in-house.

An independent evaluation isn't just a best practice — it's a claims management asset that protects both the decision and the relationship.

Common Questions

What claims teams ask before their first referral.

Yes. We do not maintain ongoing referral arrangements between our evaluators and the carriers who use our service. Independence is a condition of placement — not just a label. This matters in bad-faith defense, where opposing counsel investigates the financial relationship between evaluator and carrier.
We cover property damage, disability (long-term and short-term), cyber and technology claims, general liability, professional liability, and products liability. We also handle workers' compensation IMEs — see our Medical & IME page for that vertical.
Timelines vary by claim type. Paper-only evaluations (records review, no in-person exam) can typically be completed in 5–10 business days. Cases requiring site visits or in-person examination depend on scheduling, geography, and complexity. We provide estimated turnaround before confirming the engagement.
Yes. We work with carriers and TPAs on both individual contested claims and recurring evaluation programs. Firm accounts receive a dedicated account manager, priority turnaround, and volume pricing. Contact us to discuss program structure.
Starting from $1,500 depending on claim type and scope. All fees are confirmed before any work begins. Full fee schedules are provided upfront — no surprise invoices after the report is delivered.
