Greenspan Adjusters International, Inc. (British Columbia) Testimonials

I would like to express my personal appreciation and also the appreciation of Lockheed management in general for the excellent job you and your associates did in working up our earthquake claim, particularly the business interruption portion. It is unfortunate that we had to go to the extreme of filing suit against the carrier(s) to recover our loss due to the adamant refusal on the part of one of the carriers to recognize that we had any business interruption loss at all. It is obvious, however, that your basis of presenting the business interruption claim, backed up by your understanding of the policy wording and intent, your understanding of Lockheed's financial situation at the time of the earthquake, and, of course, your professional expertise went a long way in prompting the early settlement of the claim.

…Issues of financial magnitude as well as minor details were dealt with equal attention and concern. In addition to our 7200 sq foot home and all of its contents, we lost an irreplaceable art collection. …He supervised a minimum of half dozen Allstate representatives, a personal inventory specialist, an art and antiques specialist, and a building specialist who recreated our home inch by inch on paper, a loss of use adjuster who agreed to numerous weekend and holidays stays, and a total of three separate insurance companies involved in our loss. …Even though we have been entitled to all of this compensation, insurance paperwork, complicated language and fine print exclusions would have prevented us as novices from acquiring a fair and positive result.

You were there from day one and that was reassuring. You were very thorough with your investigation and working up our loss. Without your services we never would have been able to make the settlement as quickly and smoothly as it went. It was a relief for us to know that you were handling it and we never had to really become bogged down with the settlement. Thanks to you we were able to put our energy into reconstruction and running our business.

In those first days, we felt comfortable that the expertise within our congregation along with the assurances from our insurance company’s adjuster were all that was needed to put the destruction behind us and allow us to rebuild. I believe this was the single biggest mistake we made in the process of our crises. Moving through the process, we became mired in a protracted disappointing, difficult negotiation with our insurance company. When The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International got involved, the insurance company’s offer was a little over two million dollars. When all was said and done, our negotiated settlement was just short of three and a half million dollars, over 60% increase! Drew and The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International earned every penny they charged. If I were to go back in time or had another claim of any kind the first call after 911 would be to The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International. They are worth it. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

We are now preparing final presentation drawings on our home, which was destroyed in the Laguna Beach fire on October 27, 1995. Without your work and negotiations with the insurance company, we would never have recovered the amount that we did from the loss. This will allow us to rebuild our house and replace a good portion of our other losses that we know we would not have been able to without your diligence in working with our insurance company.

Paul and Sandy assisted Continental Airlines, Inc. for several months on a business interruption claim. The claim was quite intricate for it involved a hub station that had been damaged by a typhoon. I found Paul and Sandy to be professional and easy to work with. They exhibited experience in the claims process and provided Continental with the tools needed to finalize the claim.

Though we had always assumed that our homeowner's insurance would take care of our problems in the event of such disasters, we were disappointed with the many loose-ends they left in their wake…We pensively took the chance and signed up for The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International to represent us. We were then introduced to Frank Candido who, in so many ways, took us under his wing, reassured us, and carried us through the rebuilding process from beginning to end. The insurance company stalled and was uncooperative throughout, but Frank was there keeping them accountable and encouraging us…We now know from experience that The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International served our needs so that, when done, we were satisfied with the finished house and our personal losses were recouped. In addition, the fees paid to your company were well worth it and were offset because your organization gained us much more than the insurance company tried to get us to settle for.
