The Claim Story

1. The claim position

Initial payments across 16 multifamily communities totaled $2.13 million, but the portfolio-level claim position did not account for the full documented scope.

2. The ICRS approach

ICRS performed a property-by-property and unit-by-unit review across 674 units, organizing the damage and claim information into a coordinated portfolio presentation.

3. The documented outcome

The negotiated total reached $4.07 million, and the review identified 189 damaged units that had been missed.

Why This Result Matters

Portfolio claims can hide major gaps when each building or unit is not tracked systematically. A repeatable review process helps ownership and management teams understand both the physical scope and the financial effect across multiple communities.

Every property insurance claim is fact-specific. The value of a disciplined claim process is that damage, coverage issues and financial impacts can be evaluated and presented from the policyholder’s perspective.

Approximately 90% of claims are settled without unnecessary litigation. ICRS works its files by pursuing the truth of what the policyholder is actually owed—not simply what an insurer feels should be paid.
