Claims
Damage appraisal is a particular discipline. It not only requires real technical know-how, legal and financial knowledge for a specific claim, but also empathy, communication skills, enterprise and determination to settle a claim.
Damages and claims can occur in across all professions, in a variety of different manners. When either material or nonmaterial damage does occur, the most important questions are:
- How did the damage occur?
- Who or what is responsible for the damage occurring and the (financial) consequences of the incident?
- How can the damage be repaired, taking into account amongst other things the interests of the parties involved, market value aspects, continuity of the company, sustainability and what are the costs involved?
- Which parties will bear the costs of repair and the (financial) consequences of an incident?
Professional loss adjusters are needed to assist with these sometimes complex questions. SOCOTEC employs these professionals and offers the expertise required.
