Risk Management and Property & Casualty Insurance for buyers

The best firms invest time, money and resources managing their risks proactively and thoughtfully. In our experience, the most successful (and profitable) firms prioritize risk management, in addition to taking a thoughtful, long-term approach to purchasing insurance. Underinsured and unforeseen losses can significantly reduce a firm's profitability, and negatively impact a firm's brand.

 

Insurance programs must be structured with an eye towards maximizing the claims recovery. Too many brokers and clients prioritize insurance pricing over claims recovery.

 

GUTERL CONSULTING can assist firms with:

• Establishing, improving and communicating proactive and effective risk management and loss prevention procedures.

• Properly selecting the right broker, as well as the best insurer(s).

• Preparing a professional and detailed underwriting submission.

• Creating a flexible renewal strategy plan, with a detailed timeline.

• Structuring a program and drafting a policy wording to maximize the claims recovery/outcome.

• Developing a claims strategy for both collection and advocacy, to include establishing clear roles for brokers and outside coverage counsel.

To quote a very smart client, "cheap insurance that doesn't pay is expensive."
