Transportation accidents, natural disasters, terrorism, and other unexpected catastrophes can cause immense environmental damage. Insured parties are seldom prepared for incidents of this type. Being unprepared commonly leads to compromised decisions and the use of the most readily available vendor resources. Sudden and accidental incidents can and will involve local, state, and federal regulatory oversight. Impact can involve the insured’s property, third party properties, and media regulated by local, state, and Federal government (i.e., soil, surface water, or groundwater).
Action's Claim Investigation and Monitoring service provides you with information relating to the incident's background, apparent impact, parties involved or affected, current abatement activities taking place including adequacy thereof, and an estimate of the cost-to-date with future cost projections. A quick response to collect detailed information enables you to manage the claim and control costs.
Often, environmental abatement requires daily site monitoring. Documentation of site activity streamlines the invoice auditing process after the work is complete. Site monitoring also limits and deters vendor-billing fraud. Our experience indicates that reputable environmental abatement contractors welcome day-to-day monitoring as invoicing guidelines and rate schedules can be established early in the project.
