Large Loss Claims

HVACi understands that Large Loss Claims carry significant risk and scrutiny beyond traditional HVAC commercial claims. Our best practices, developed after years of large loss experience, ensure a smooth process from beginning to end.

CHALLENGES WITH TRADITIONAL ASSESSMENTS

Large loss claims need more than the standard commercial process.

Large Loss HVAC claims frequently receive the same traditional assessment process that’s applied to standard commercial claims despite their increased size and scope. Those procedures don’t adequately address the complexity and assessment scope that large loss claims demand. Consequences of traditional assessments for large loss claims include:

  • Disorganized, haphazard processes without clear milestones or management
  • Error-ridden field reports that require multiple revisions
  • Limited interactions with the insured’s contractor
  • Slow turnaround times ranging from weeks to months
  • Subpar service levels that aren’t comparable to the risk
  • Poor or non-existent post-claim follow-up
