Casualty claims service need not be a gamble

Article Abstract:

Insurance brokers and agents should do as much as possible to help their corporate customers choose an appropriate claims service provider. Companies that shop for casualty insurance by price may not realize that 90% of what they will spend for the program will go to losses, and the overhead costs are trivial. Choosing a provider should involve interviews, research, office tours, and consultation with the customer. The customer should have a relationship with the provider that allows good communication between them.
