CLAIMS INVESTIGATION

Our primary purpose, as independent claims investigators is to be the adjuster's eyes and ears on the scene of a loss. As experienced insurance claim investigators, we know what you need. We understand the time constraints you are under. We understand the necessity of moving quickly and of keeping you apprised of the situation as it develops.

We know what to look for and how to document the scene and circumstances of the loss. When speaking with Claimants and witnesses, we are mindful of representing your company in a positive manner, while at the same time, conducting a thorough investigation. We know what questions to ask and have the experience to develop and document the best information available. Filley and Associates does not cut corners by hiring low paid personnel, as is common in the industry. Our investigators are well paid professionals, who treat their job and each case with the dedication and attention to detail it deserves.

Our online file management system speeds collaboration, file sharing and status updates - or we can use your system.

Our reports are concise, but complete, with a summary of the salient information at the beginning of the report and detailed information under the subheadings.
