Loss adjusters and claims handlers are perpetually expected to deliver great claim experiences for policyholders. But the pressure to minimise the settlement cost of the claim and the on-costs of servicing is equally ever-present.
Appointing a forensic investigator to examine a fire, explosion or escape of water scene is a decision often made with commercial considerations in mind. 你可能会问自己:
- Will a forensic investigation add value and move the claim lifecycle forward?
- Will I run up a significant invoice due to more hours spent on the forensic investigation than I anticipated?
- Will I get a return on the investment for the investigators’ fee?
We understand these issues and that procurement and supply chain managers like to purchase services with certainty around cost. 为此目的, Jensen Hughes offers a Forensic Screen service at the most competitive price in the market.
