Damage Survey
We have represented Underwriters and owners for a very wide range of
insurance claims. These have included sinking, stranding, dismasting,
mechanical breakdown, fire, arson, theft, personal injury, third party damage,
flooding whilst in storage, latent defect, warranty claims, product
liability, heavy weather damage and of course hurricane damage ashore and
afloat.
We are routinely appointed by European, British and American
Underwriters to attend vessels throughout the Caribbean to assist them
with insurance claims. We usually handle about 50 losses each year (not
including hurricane claims). We are pleased to be able to state that
almost all insurance claims were settled on an amicable basis. The
several which were not amicable were because we refused to agree with the
owner to cheat the insurance company. We have produced a Guide to Making
an Insurance Claim, which most people have found useful. To read more,

We also work for owners with damaged vessels, to advise them of the
nature of the damages and make recommendations for repairs. These damages
could include warranty claims on new vessels or damages to uninsured
vessels.
We charge US$130.00 per hour with a minimum of two hours.
We use digital and 35mm cameras and have underwater photography
equipment.
