Resolving time related insurance claims is an extremely complex process. It is essential that key stakeholders such as insurers, reinsurers, brokers and loss adjusters are provided with reliable and robust advice relating to the causes of delay and daily loss estimates. This enables the correct delay period solely attributable to the insured event to be ascertained and the correct reserve to be provided.

When a claim under BI policy is submitted it is not unusual for the valuation of claims to run in the region of $100,000’s per day. As a consequence, every (accurately valued) day saved is worth a considerable sum of money to Insurers.

The insured usually provides little evidence to support its claim and often states that all delay is a direct result of the Material Damage claim. There are often instances whereby it benefits the contractor to take extra time to complete the construction works associated with the insured event. So how can Insurers be confident that the delay claimed is strictly correct under the terms of the policy? How can insurers be confident that opportunistic maintenance works, equipment upgrades, delayed decision making and general policy exclusions have not been wrapped up within the insured’s claimed interruption period?
