Loss Prevention
Mission Statement
Our mission is to be a respected and trusted partner to our members. We want to work side by side, to help them safeguard their human and physical assets. We will accomplish this through safety surveys, collaboration and education.
Most of our staff were previously claims representatives or have other previous insurance experience. We understand what it is like suffering a loss from a claim. A claim is disruptive and inconvenient to the member. Our main goal is to try to avoid a loss from ever happening. You will find that our friendly staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.
Our Approach
- We survey properties associated with farms, businesses, and high-value homes.
- Use a common-sense approach for recommendations. We are not code enforcers and understand recs can be costly.
- Typical survey takes 5 to 10 minutes per building.
- Use of new technology and survey forms take less time in the field so the policy holder can get back to their busy schedule.
- Recommendations are reviewed with the policy holder during the inspection.
- We use this time in the field to build a relationship with our members.
- Our goal is for the insured and agent to see this as an asset in preventing a loss from occurring and keeping claims volume down.
