The audit is the first step in any insurance archaeology project. The document review process begins at the corporate headquarters but continues at branch locations where insurance documents relating to companies acquired during mergers or acquisitions are stored. Once all policies and proofs of insurance are assembled, gaps in the company’s historic insurance program present themselves and specific plans can be made to locate missing insurance policies and proofs at locations outside the organization.
When corporations are armed with their historic insurance program, corporate risk managers and their attorneys can determine which carriers are to be notified for which claims and what coverage limits are available to offset which potential expenditures.
We specialize in conducting audits on our clients’ behalf. Our experience in combing through dated materials and assembling insurance policy evidence is unsurpassed.
