The Littleton Group, Ready to Help
Insurance companies worldwide are facing disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Prediction of business damages is in the billions of dollars, and a surfeit of claims will be filed.
“Pandemics, unlike other catastrophes such as a hurricane or an earthquake, are not limited by geography or time. The loss potential from a pandemic, in practical terms, is infinite, and insurance companies have only finite balance sheets.” Evan Greenberg, CEO Chubb Group, said in an April 16, 2020 article about insurance companies and pandemics published on bloomberg.com.
Handling these claims requires an expert understanding of a myriad of insurance situations. You may face these types of claims and questions, among others:
● Travel insurance
● Event cancellation insurance
● Business interruption insurance claims
● Worker’s Compensation questions
● Cybersecurity questions for remote workers
● Property damage of unsecured locations
● General liability claims
Responding with Compassion
Every claim still needs to be individually reviewed and processed. Clients need fast, responsive service, and you need claims processed efficiently and professionally. Many of your clients face devastating losses. Your office needs help processing the escalating numbers of claims requiring diligent, thorough investigation, and documentation.
“We care more. We try harder. We enjoy what we do. We want to make this tough time easier for everyone.” – Jeff Bode, COO, The Littleton Group.
Like many other businesses, you have the added disruption of more employees working remotely at the same time you are facing unprecedented calls and claims. All your adjusters must understand the precise terms and conditions of the applicable coverage.
They need a deep understanding of the relevant rules and regulations concerning many of these complicated claims. What does contingency business interruption insurance cover? What if a business loss results from civil authority orders restricting access to the business?
You are tasked with handling complicated demands and volumes during very abnormal times. Your teams are working hard, finding agile solutions to clients’ challenges.
This is not the time for novices.

Business interruption claims raise unique issues. Routine claims require proof and quantification challenges, and when combined with the unique problems of COVID-19, the stakes are even higher.
Our adjusters are qualified to review claims and analyze the many business interruption provisions. The actual peril causing the loss must be carefully identified. Were losses caused by the virus, from civil order, or supply chain interruption? Policy language will determine the coverage the client’s policy provides.
Within hours of receiving your claim, our team can supplement your existing staff and ease your workload. Clear your desk and move those files to our team – we are ready and eager to help.
