Business issue
As a result of a severe storm with heavy rain and high winds, a McGriff client in the dairy farm business sustained property damage to four buildings and some business equipment. The damaged equipment was used to plant corn and water the crops. It was the beginning of the planting season for our client, and the damaged equipment was vital to their operation. Our client discovered the irrigation pivot on the damaged equipment could not be repaired and was very concerned about the impact this would have on their ability to produce a crop if the claim was not expedited. The adjuster placed a $1 million reserve on the claim resulting in it being sent to the carrier’s home office for approval. After experiencing little progress over the next four weeks, the McGriff agent referred the claim to a claim triage specialist with the McGriff Risk Services for assistance.
