Program Description

From the first notice of a fire loss to the conclusion of the scene examination, this program addresses insurance adjustment and subrogation issues. A topic loaded classroom program presented by RMI and Bensen Fire & Safety Consulting in the morning will move to a live burn of two pods – applying the insurance, investigative and legal issues to a live fire. The Norwich Fire Department will extinguish the live burns followed by an analysis of the fire patterns and causation determination.

Topics covered include:

-Roles and duties of the front line adjuster, subrogation unit and counsel.

-The fine line between mitigation of damages and spoliation.

-Avoiding bad faith claims and potential sanctions from the fire loss.

-Safety issues as to adjusters, investigators and all involved.

-Legal issues involving the insured, injuries from the fire, renters and impacted third parties.

-Control and eventual release of the scene.

-Proper damage documentation (adjuster tips for avoiding later deposition challenges).

-Identifying all potential subrogation targets (known and unknown).

-Proper and NFPA compliant notice to parties and others impacted by the loss.

-Scene exam protocols.

-Initial and joint scene examinations of the scene (do’s and dont’s).
