This dynamic reveals the delicate balance between your needs and the financial intricacies of the insurance industry. Navigating this landscape effectively is crucial to ensure appropriate recovery, in accordance with the coverage you have paid for.
We Can Help
Understanding the "fine print" of your insurance policy before engaging in substantive discussions with your property insurer is essential. How the claim is presented and how the coverage is utilized can make a dramatic difference in your recovery amount. Our in-depth analysis of the policy, and expert guidance, built upon over 80+ years of experience in the insurance claims industry, is invaluable to your full recovery.
Key Considerations for Your Insurance Claim Process
- Following a property damage loss, what are the duties and responsibilities of the policyholder?
- Are there extra expenses needed to maintain patient care during repairs (e.g., renting temporary facilities, expedited construction costs)?
- What specialized equipment & inventory losses should I be particularly concerned about?
- What medical equipment was damaged and if it is repairable, how does that affect claim valuation? How does policy coverage address high-value equipment like MRI machines, surgical robots, etc.)?
- Were any pharmaceuticals or medical supplies lost due to contamination or temperature changes (e.g., vaccines requiring refrigeration)?
- Are property owners required by their insurance company to protect the property from further damage and to mitigate the extent of the loss?
- What if the insurance company’s representatives do not arrive for days – what immediate steps should be taken by the policyholder, if any?
- Does the policy cover costs associated with bringing damaged areas up to current building and health codes? Are there additional costs for infectious disease control upgrades or ventilation improvements? Will repairs trigger seismic, ADA, or fire safety upgrades beyond what existed before the loss?
- Were critical infrastructure components (HVAC, backup generators, water filtration systems) impacted?
- Is there mold, asbestos, or biohazard contamination that requires specialized remediation?
- What is the estimated timeline for repairs, and how does it align with the facility’s operational needs?
- Are there liability concerns related to injuries caused by the incident (falling debris, water leaks, electrical failures)?
- Did the damage force patient evacuations, and were there associated costs (transportation, temporary housing)?
- How does insurance address potential lawsuits from patients or employees due to service disruptions?
- Do the independent building consultants brought in by the insurance company work for the policyholder or for the insurance company?
- What does your loss of income claim entail?
- Does the policy cover increased labor costs for 24/7 construction to speed up reopening?
- Will any temporary solutions (e.g., portable operating rooms, rental generators) be reimbursed?
- Does the policy require mitigation steps (e.g., using approved contractors, adhering to specific timelines)?
- Is it beneficial for your property to be considered a total loss? Why might it not be?
- Does your insurance coverage include a coinsurance provision? How will that impact your claim?
