Success Stories

Smiles Dental formerly of Derby CT, July 2015. Originally thought to be a mid size water damage claim became a much more involved business interruption claim when the landlord refused to abate asbestos. The Business interruption claim included many variables calculated to add lost revenue based on planned marketing and office expansion.  Following the water loss the office was re-located to a new larger state of the Art Facility in Shelton CT.  The claim was devastating to his Derby location but they were able to look ahead and rebuild a brighter future.

3. Homeowners, Stonington CT, August 2017.  We were hired 4 months after the loss.  The policy holder felt they were mistreated by their insurance company and the file had been mismanaged.  We were able to review the building damage offer and find missing scope.  We wrote an accurate building damage report and increased the offer by $81,000. We obtained a hand written 200 page inventory taken by the insurance company and transcribed, organized, interpreted and price  into detailed presentation form and negotiated an appropriate settlement in a timely manner.

New England Ballet Company of Bridgeport, January 2017.  Most of the Scenery, Costumes & Props were severely damaged by water.  We co-ordinated cleanup efforts with Ballet volunteers, to sort through inventory of costumes, props and scenery accumulated over 27 years. We spent 5 days inventorying and working closely with Ballet principals to properly identify each item since many carried unique descriptions and values.  Additionally the majority of hand designed and painted backdrops were underwater, they had to be transported to offsite facility to dry, once dry they were again transported off site to the Klein Center so as to hang  onstage and inspected, photographed and measured  in order to share that information with studio artists so they could prepare  a detailed report  of values for adjustment purposes.
