Hurricane-related claims often present some of the most challenging issues insurers face, requiring swift decision-making, careful investigation, and strict compliance with regulatory requirements. From determining causation and evaluating coverage to managing communications and preserving documentation, early claim-handling decisions can significantly impact both the claim outcome and the potential for future disputes.
To help claims professionals navigate these challenges during hurricane season, Ashley Eldridge and Josh Tumen of Cozen O'Connor's Global Insurance Department developed a handbook "Navigating Hurricane Claims: Response Guide and Best Practices". The guide features practical strategies for handling hurricane-related claims at every stage of the process.
This guide includes:
-
An overview of key considerations throughout the hurricane claims process
-
Discussion of common coverage issues arising from hurricane-related losses
-
Best practices for communication, reserve evaluation, and dispute preparedness
-
Summary of state-specific deadlines and requirements affecting hurricane claims handling
