Crawford responds to Chile earthquake

Crawford & Company has mobilised its in-country, regional and global technical services (GTS) adjusters to handle the losses resulting from the Chile earthquake.

“Our highly talented team has begun working around the clock to assess damage sustained from the earthquake. Crawford’s offices in Chile are being supported by our professionals worldwide to ensure that we deliver superior adjusting services to the country’s residents and businesses so they can begin the recovery process,” said Jeffrey Bowman, Crawford president and chief executive officer.

“We have significant adjusting resources available throughout the country,” said Javier Carvallo, president of Crawford Chile.

“In addition, we will supplement our staff with other Spanish-speaking adjusters from the company as claims continue to be reported.”

Crawford said it had implemented its Latin American catastrophe plan and was able to begin working in Chile within hours of the event and that it is receiving notices of loss from local and international insurers and reinsurers.
