In claims, we know timing is critical. Once our office receives an assignment and the necessary loss notice details, Zap Consulting will reach out to the policyholder within 24 hours*. We will schedule an inspection within the insured's preferred availability and notify the adjuster of any delays to keep the claims process moving efficiently.

Unfortunately, claimed items are sometimes repaired or replaced, and discarded before the damage can be verified. In these cases, we offer our desktop review service. With this review, office resources are used to validate the credibility of the company used for repair/replacement, as well as determine if labor, material, and pricing are in line with current market MSRP/local competitors.

We work exclusively with claims professionals to evaluate electronics, appliances, and heating and air conditioning systems for the insureds they represent. Home and business owners should reach out to their insurance provider for guidance after a loss.
