I will never forget the professionalism, kindness, thoroughness and objectivity you brought to my wine loss claim. As I had begun facing my insurance company on my own with my claim it soon became apparent that I was being judged almost as a criminal for even making a claim…Within hours you had personally reviewed my complete insurance policy binder. The next day meeting with you and Chris Glenister was amazing. You quickly reduced the 'game' with the insurance companies and how to play through a claim fairly. You brought my claim to almost a 100% valuation at the end and held my hand through a rigorous set of audits of all aspects of my company as my carrier did their best to deny my claim. No one should EVER play this insurance claim 'game' alone…Your services were outstanding and reasonably priced.
At first, I had intended to handle the loss by myself, using our employees. What a mistake that would have been! Luckily, it soon became evident that we had neither the expertise nor the time to effectively handle the loss while continuing to run a business…Your pledge when you approached me was that you would personally 'sift through the rubble' to evaluate the damage from the explosion. This you did, in a manner of speaking, throughout the entire process. Your tirelessness was admirable. Your services invaluable.
Your advice in the preparation of our property claim and business interruption claim and in the negotiations with the Insurance Company's accountants and adjusters was most beneficial to us in obtaining a very satisfactory indemnification for our damages.
...When the fire occurred to my 12,000 square foot warehouse, I assumed that my broker would be able to assist me in this matter. I learned very quickly that brokers secure you the coverage but don’t “fight the fight” that apparently become necessary at the onset of my claim. You came highly recommended to me by various individuals in the Salinas area who retained your firm on previous engagements. I can honestly say that engaging your services was the best decision I ever made…I knew when I received the initial repair estimate from Fireman’s Fund of only $435,000 and was depreciated almost 50% that we were in for a battle. …You never stopped attacking the insurance company’s measurement of the loss. They revised their repair estimate to $600,000, then $850,000.00 and finally $1,050,000.00 with demolition. You lowered their overall depreciation down to an 18%, which was surprising, considering the age of our building (70 years old). Your tenacity was truly amazing and I guess that is why you are so successful.
...Triple G Dairy realizes that your firm’s knowledge of the insurance policy and your negotiations skills enabled us to obtain a significantly higher settlement than was being offered by the insurance company.
As business owners and professionals for the previous 50 years, we understand the importance of having an advocate on your side. Although we are well versed in nearly all aspects of business, preparing a multi-million dollar insurance claim was not something we were prepared to do. After our initial meeting with Gordon Scott, it was clear that The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International was the right choice! Gordon expertly explained how The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International team of professionals would promptly work to maximize our claim and ensure an equal playing field with the insurance company. After receiving the initial claim, the insurance company offered to pay only 60% of the claimed damages. With The Greenspan Co./Adjuster International level of expertise, knowledge of the policy provisions and attention to detail, we received an additional $850,000, and were able to begin making repairs to the building. All else being equal we are convinced that had we tried to “go it alone,” we would never have achieved the same results and likely never have rebuilt.
...my winery suffered a major loss when our bottled wine inventory was destroyed by a fire. I prepared my claim for loss in-house, and presented the claim directly to my insurance company. Although I was well insured, my insurance company calculated the value of my inventory at an amount lower than what I had calculated the value at. I hired The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International to assist me. They re-evaluated my original claim and represented my interests in negotiating with the insurance company for the discrepancy in valuation. They understood the intricacies of my industry and my loss, and were able to represent my claim in a very professional manner...
....we inquired with friends who had similar losses and they all recommended The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International... We were able to go on with our business knowing we didn’t have to be concerned with dead lines and knowing we were getting what we had paid for out of our insurance policy... The obvious claims were settled quite rapidly, the implied claims took longer, when it was over were are certain we received all we had coming and were pleasantly surprised we received a lot more than we would have if we tried to do it ourselves; we were very satisfied with Going into this ordeal with little to no experience and facing an insurance carrier and their adjuster who deals with these situations daily, made for an initial frustrating assessment of our ability to receive the coverage we had paid for. The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International more than leveled the playing field. I highly recommend the use of an adjuster in times such as these, and the one I always recommend first is The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International and feel it was the best investment we could have made.
