Accuracy and efficiency are imperative when managing the claims process. At The Baldwin Group, we provide comprehensive support by meticulously investigating each claim, gathering crucial evidence, and understanding the project’s specifics to help deliver favorable outcomes and timely resolutions.

Here’s how we achieve this:

  • Conduct initial triage/scope of investigation: Assess the situation to determine the extent of the claim and outline the necessary steps for a thorough investigation. This initial evaluation helps prioritize resources and define the investigation’s scope.
  • Ensure personal/property safety: Take immediate actions to secure the site and help ensure the safety of all personnel. Address any hazards to prevent further damage or injury while the investigation proceeds.
  • Preserve and maintain evidence: Protect all relevant evidence from alteration or loss by securing the site and documenting conditions. Proper evidence handling is crucial for accurate claim assessment and dispute resolution.
  • Consult the right expert: Engage specialists with the appropriate expertise to analyze complex aspects of the claim, such as structural engineers or forensic accountants. Their insights are essential for a precise evaluation and expert testimony.
  • Collect key documents/statements: Gather essential documents, such as contracts, invoices, and witness statements, to substantiate the claim. Comprehensive documentation supports a robust claim and aids in resolving disputes.
  • Prepare focused reporting: Compile a detailed and clear report that outlines findings, evidence, and conclusions. A well-organized report helps ensure that all relevant information is effectively communicated to stakeholders.
  • Close investigation: Conclude the investigation by reviewing all findings, addressing any remaining issues, and finalizing reports.
