Claims Overview:

Achieving the Best Outcome Possible

The moment after a loss occurs is the start of a process that if not efficiently managed can be a source of constant frustration and irritation.

Most of the time the claims management process runs smoothly and issues are resolved with few interruptions and in accordance with our expectations.

But, not always…

Sometimes coverage falls into a grey area and sometimes it falls between the cracks.  Usually not because of a lack in coverage, but because coverage was overlooked.  Insurance is more than a policy, it’s a promise and it’s our goal to ensure they’re kept.

  • Advocating for our Clients

HAWK Advisers created the role of Claims Specialist for the primary purpose of providing a claims advocate to our clients.

  • Responsive Claims Support

Studies conclude there is a direct correlation between claims costs and the duration of a claim.  Timely communication and follow-up are essential to mitigating costs.

  • Claim Disputes and Resolution

Getting the facts, exchanging information, comparing coverage, resolving disputes, and reviewing claim payments is a delicate balancing act.  Fortunately, we are not short on knowledge, experience, or industry relationships, which makes HAWK’s approach and claims specialist, Susan…well, SPECIAL!
