A large fire broke out from an enormous heating/drying oven during the plating operation at one of the Midwest largest plating manufacturing facilities, Eltek of Indiana. The fire caused damage to Eltek’s building and business property, resulting in the significant loss of income.
Eltek retained the Alex N. Sill Company, the nation’s leading public insurance claims adjuster and loss consultant. Sill deployed its experienced team of professionals including in-house adjusters, building appraisers, contents appraisers and forensic accountants to assist Eltek. Sill immediately began meeting the insurance company’s painstaking demands for information, resulting in a multi-million dollar recovery that was four times what the insured first imagined might be recovered.
Eltek’s Controller had this to say about the Sill Company’s work:
“I can tell you that without the assistance of the team at Alex Sill, I would have become frustrated and discouraged, likely settling for much less.
“I could never have imagined how an insurance company could make a claim so complicated and tedious. They requested mountains of information, scrutinized it for months, questioned everything multiple times, hired several consultants to challenge [Sill’s] documentation and changed their adjusters during the settlement. I think they wanted to wear us out so we would accept a much smaller settlement [emphasis added].
“However, you came through for us. You never wavered, you keep pushing forward, methodically defending our claim through to the end. This allowed [us] to concentrate on running our company, not working fulltime on an insurance claim. In the end, your services were invaluable and the fees you charged were earned many times over in the recovery you secured for us [emphasis added].
“I hope we never have to go through something like [this] again, but if we do, you will be our first call!”
