Our Philosophy
Solutions that Solve Problems
We are an advocate for our clients through our interaction with insurance adjusters, attorneys, appraisers, contractors and surveyors in the handling and servicing of claims. We consistently deliver prompt, fair and reasonable resolutions so that your business avoids financial burdens or experiences unnecessary delays.
By joining with us, you can rest assured that our dedicated team will professionally manage claims using our unique methodology while providing quality support and guidance when dealing with third parties. Our consultancy on Workers’ Compensation includes demonstrating to our clients both how to remain compliant and how to institute programs that further the development of current plans.
We collaborate with several top risk services companies who provide professional loss control services. We find this approach cost-effective and more customized for our clients. Learning about your business, using a network of hundreds of safety engineers across the country, provides for a more focused, need-based approach. Some of the available services include:
1. Before we get started – recent developments, 2023-2024 goal setting, Things that are keeping you up at night?
2. Current broker/relationship – does one group handle your entire program along w any surety/bonding?
3. Locations – PA & Worldwide? Operations in each? (Construction/Engineering Management/Geotechnical)
4. Current PA class code is 0955 (Engineering, Consulting Firm). How often is this and your EMOD reviewed?
5. Professional Liabiloty Review: How often is this performed?
6. Safety Committee, Handbook, Return to Work Program – in place? What do they look like?
7. Self-performed vs. subbed out work? % Of each?
8. How is your current broker focused on construction/engineering-specific professional liability solutions (E&O)?
9. What ideas, insights, and data are you receiving that help you manage risk more efficiently/effectively?
10. Do you have access to experts advising how to address risk management or contractual challenges, and the products and markets you need to overcome them?
