Construction Claims & Defect Experts

construction claims and construction defect expertsDeficiencies in how a building is designed, built, operated or maintained, are the causes of construction defects. Defects in construction range from minor problems like drooping gutters and peeling paint to situations when an entire structure must be bulldozed. Other problems include code violations, faulty design, cracked foundations, substandard workmanship, and unsafe structures.

Everyone associated with the project, from general contractors to architects, electricians, and roofers, can be impacted by a construction defect claim. The toll on a company’s finances and its reputation can be distressing. Vector Risk Solutions has a mission to focus on precisely what our clients and their policyholders need and to make the claims process and smooth as possible.

 

Some of the common construction defect claims we are assigned involve:

  • Quality of work issues
  • Code violations
  • Scope of work violations
  • Design deficiencies
  • Product or material insufficiencies
  • Operation & maintenance issues

We know it is important that adjusters act quickly upon receipt of a new construction defect claim. In order to limit exposure and ensure the most efficient expenditure of defense costs, a rapid response is necessary.

Insurance Adjuster Training & Consulting Experts

get training and consultation for insurance adjusters from our experts“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”  These wise and observant words from Benjamin Franklin remind us of two things – that we learn from others, and that we remember what we learn by involvement. At Vector Risk Solutions we believe that together we can be better, and that’s why we offer specialized consulting services

Whether you require consulting and training for your claims department, underwriting department, or even your executive leadership team, we have the resources to meet your needs. With our extensive experience in claims management, we are leveraging our infrastructure for our clients, helping to navigate away from the complexity of end-to-end claims processing. With three simple principal steps, our consulting plan will lead you towards self-propelling success

Step 1: Identify the issues

This is where we conduct a ‘Claims Processing Assessment’ and make an analysis of any potential issues. Looking at your metrics and claims process from start to finish, we listen to the concerns and ideas of your employees, vendors, and clients. We do a complete investigation when helping you identify the issues that are hurting performance metrics.

Step 2: Create the plan

Through strategic adaptation, we create a plan that not only corrects the issues you are facing but ensures that this plan embraces your company’s core values and leadership models. We put this plan into writing and develop training modules that can be put into effect from the management level all the way to the adjuster. We also make sure that this plan is clearly communicated to everyone, from the employee to the client.

Step 3: Equipping Innovators

What good is any of this without training and implementation? We would be leaving you on the edge if we didn’t follow through with this third step. We not only identify your issues and create a custom plan that meets your needs, but we ensure that you feel equipped to implement this plan. We empower you to empower your employees by providing onsite/offsite training for your corporate leadership, management teams, staff adjusters, and other claims professionals. 

The consulting services we offer are: 

  • Claims processing, assessment, and perpetration
  • Adjuster/Management Training Programs
  • Client Retention Analysis
  • Client Experience assessment

We handle our clients’ consulting needs with the highest amount of integrity and customer service. With our founding principles – Integrity, Ingenuity, & Excellence – we build a relationship with our clients that teaches and directly involves your team so that what is learned is retained.

Customize Your Service Needs With Our Independent Adjuster Firm

“Success is the sum of details”, Harvey Firestone once said. Almost 80 years after his passing, his business Firestone Tire is still a thriving household name. Mr. Firestone knew that the little details matter and he made it a priority not to sweep anything under the rug but instead faced each challenge head-on. Whatever the size of the goal you strive for, it’s the details that make the difference between success and failure. 

 

Here at Vector Risk Solutions we truly believe that details matter. We also know that every client and every claim deserve to be treated for what they are, an individual case. Every claim is different, and when claims are bundled into one group or category sometimes the little details can be missed. This means somewhere along the line there is a negative and unfair impact. So we decided to do something different and make a change in how claims are dealt with.

 

To give you the best service out there, we offer customized plans that specifically target whatever needs may arise with your claim or business. This means we discuss exactly what you need, and find the best course of action to help continue the growth and success of your business. With experts in the fields of catastrophe adjusting, commercial agribusiness, commercial claims, flood claims, liability, TPA & consulting services as well as appraisal services, we are qualified and prepared to take on any challenge.

We promise to handle every detail with integrity, ingenuity, & excellence.

How Catastrophe Adjusters Prepare for Storm Season

catastrophe planning for claims adjusters during hurricanes and storm seasonThe NHC has predicted 14 named storms for the 2019 hurricane seasons, with 7 of them being hurricanes and an additional 3 storms being major hurricanes. This prediction is around the yearly average over the past 70 years, and that’s why it’s surprising to learn that most businesses and homeowners  don’t have a risk management plan in place.

In 2018, Hurricane Michael caused major devastation to the Florida panhandle and surrounding areas, and today they are still struggling to recover. After the storm hits, Vector Risk Solutions should be a crucial part of your plan. Let our adjusters do what we do best so that your clients and policyholders can have true peace of mind during the recovery process.

From June 1st to November 30th is the highest likelihood of a hurricane occurrence. That is a six-month timespan! The insurance claims adjusters here at Vector Risk Solutions are ready for all-systems-go at the drop of a hat and during storm season they know they’ll need to grab more than just their umbrella on the way out to the job.

Vector Risk Solutions has a team of catastrophe claims adjusters ready to be on-site the day after a storm so that insurance carriers can help their policyholders expedite the recovery from their loss.
