Claims Assistance for Schools and Colleges

Not surprising, given the need for physical structures to conduct classes, programs and store information, colleges, universities, public schools and other educational organizations have large physical structures in the form of classrooms, workshops, library, sports complexes all subject to common hazards and perils that exist in our modern world.

Our experience has been that losses to these institutions tend to be large and complex. In part because of the equipment and special complexes found in our higher learning schools and also because of the need to restore special and critical one-of-a-kind items that may have been damaged. With the availability of the internet one can easily find news stories about unique restoration efforts employed to restore libraries and other critical property owned by or in the care of these institutions.

Risk manager are a very good resource at the time of your loss. They usually have placed the insurance and thus know what policies are in place and the coverage amounts. Risk managers from our experience may try and help with a claim but for the most part do not typically function or are trained as an adjuster. Someone still needs to provide the input and craft a scope of the loss document along with a cost estimate of the damages, making sure all of it fits into the coverage the risk manager has put in place. 

The public adjusters at Tutwiler & Associates can work as your trusted consultant to give you advice, share our experience and help you make decisions that are in the best interest of your institution.  Knowing the credible resources that are available to help you as well the protocols and right questions to ask, will help you explore all contingencies. For example: often a third party may have caused a loss and thus you will have the ability to make a claim with that company or person’s insurance company.
