Scary Story: A Claim Full of Non-Damaged Items
A broken pipe and a room with dozens of hard drives, monitors, a computer, and other electronics could have turned into a major loss for the residential policyholder who filed the claim depicted in this Scary Story.
The adjuster provided specific instructions for the StrikeCheck team to inspect the electronics and advise if they were repairable and how much replacement equipment would cost. Luckily for the adjuster, an onsite assessment includes comprehensive testing of each claimed item. That led to a determination of dozens of non-damaged electronics, and a lot of potential claims leakage had they been replaced unnecessarily.
