Independent Claims Consultants for Institutions


Museums, schools, religious institutions and libraries pose unique problems in the adjustment of an insurance claim.  This is one of our insurance claims consultants areas of expertise. At the center of concern are the questions of the ongoing viability of the institution and the diminution in the value of its property.

It is particularly difficult to remove all evidence of damage from the property involved such as books, antiquities, and rare treasures and adequate compensation is difficult to measure due to the nature of the damaged articles.

The independent claims consultants at Swerling Milton Winnick brings an acute eye to all the potential elements of the loss, damage or destruction of such property. Drawing upon our extensive institutional experience, we will help you to maximize your institutional insurance claim.

Our insurance carrier initially offered to settle our damage claim for $25,000. SMW negotiated on our behalf and settled this claim for more than $425,000.
