Accident benefit claims
We’ve been quantifying accident benefit claims since the introduction of no-fault insurance legislation in 1990, providing clients with cost-effective solutions and helping them navigate the Insurance Act and ever-changing provincial no-fault insurance legislation.
Our balanced analysis and reports help claimants and insurers settle a majority of their claims. But if a claim is referred to the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, our team includes specialists who can provide evidence there, as well as at private mediations and arbitrations.
We’ve been involved in many of the following types of accident benefit claims:
- income replacement benefits
- assessments for priority disputes
- economic loss for attendant care benefits
- housekeeping benefits
- non-earner and caregiver benefits
- present value of housekeeping benefits
- net present value of future accident benefits
- calculation of interest on overdue amounts
With our in-depth knowledge, forensic skill set and experience, we can identify key issues that may impact the claim, such as entitlement issues and income splitting in family-owned businesses. We make sure each claim is supported by a defensible approach, resulting in fair and timely resolutions.
Bodily injury/casualty claims
Whether you’re the plaintiff or defendant in a claim, a fair and objective loss assessment is critical to a quick settlement. Our team has experience preparing, reviewing and critiquing loss assessments for bodily injury and casualty claims. This includes the assessment of losses for settlement, mediation, arbitration and trial, as well as examination and trial preparation and acting as an expert if the matter isn’t resolved out of court.
Our team has deep industry knowledge and access to data analytics tools, economists, forensic accountants and actuaries. This means you’ll get a customized and balanced assessment of the claim so you can achieve a quick and fair resolution.
Commercial insurance claims
In the often confusing aftermath of a crisis or disaster, businesses and their insurers need to assess the damage quickly and organize recovery efforts to reduce business disruption. As an insurance industry leader, we offer strategic assistance to insurance companies, business owners and legal counsel in preparing, investigating and resolving claims.
Our insurance claims services group uses technology to capture data, analyze information, share knowledge and manage the presentation of a claim. We deliver cost-effective solutions to clients faced with litigation, arbitration, mediation or negotiations involving complex insurance issues.
Our team has significant experience quantifying losses on all aspects of commercial insurance claims, including:
business interruption losses under gross profit, gross earnings, business income and actual loss sustained forms
stock and inventory losses for policyholders with both periodic and perpetual inventory systems
the calculation of extra and saved expenses due to an insured loss
property losses, including real property, personal property and intangibles
professional liability coverage, including errors and omissions, directors and officers
fidelity claims
product recall and product liability
With our support, the adjuster can focus on other important aspects of the claim and the insured can get back to focusing on their business.
Educational services
Are you looking to enhance the knowledge or trial prep experience of your team when it comes to insurance claims?
