Claims scenarios 

Not sure what risks our product covers? We’ve brought some scenarios to life.

Management consultant

A management consultant recommended a business restructuring strategy that caused its client to lose bottom line income. The claimant alleged that the consulting group designed and implemented flawed programs that provided erroneous market studies and business reports. Despite paying substantial fees and expenses to the consulting group to grow the business, the company saw its sales and profits drop.

Claims adjuster

A claims adjuster assisted a homeowner's insurance carrier with the adjustment of property damage claims arising from Hurricane Ike in Texas. The adjuster allegedly misrepresented the rights and benefits available under the policy relative to the related hurricane damage and a group of homeowners claimed damages for violations of Texas's Insurance Code and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

Associations

A landlord alleges a breach of contract claim against an Association for using funds to lobby political views, rather than educating housing landlords like herself. The landlord was required to complete a training course, but alleges the Association never conducted the class. Instead, they diverted the cost of the course to a non-profit organization used to lobby for public housing. Five alleged counts were made against the Association, including civil rights violations and breach of contract.
