Client Anecdote: In 2007, one of our manufacturing clients in eastern Indiana experienced the complete loss of a building due to fire. We managed weekly conference calls with all adjusters, the local plant, safety and human resources managers, and executive officers at the parent company in New York. The Gregory & Appel risk management team facilitated a multi-million dollar claim settlement. The client recovered quickly, realized the fair and full value of their property loss and business interruption costs. Insurance company adjusters and our client alike were tremendously grateful the claim was resolved in less than 90 days.
