The Greenspan Co. Testimonials

As you know, Westak had tried to internally deal with a business interruption claim in 1987 which yielded absolutely nothing. When the fire occurred at our manufacturing facility in 1992, our management team debated handling the claim internally with the assistance of our insurance broker, Willis Corroon. After talking with The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International, I felt comfortable that our claim would be handled professionally and in an expeditious manner. Our entire management team began to realize that we could truly concentrate on restoring the facility and running the company while The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International handled the insurance claim. You requested a reasonable amount of documentation, made helpful suggestions as to structuring the data that needed to be compiled, and did the majority of the actual calculations yourself…Our insurance company made every effort to both minimize the amount of the loss and delay payment as long as possible…Again, I wish to thank you for performing above our expectations...

Although we are headquartered in Japan, our Thailand operations located outside Bangkok were catastrophically affected and essentially shut down by the floods of 2011. We generally service the high-tech sector in the preparation of CPU’s and motherboards for major international clients such as Texas Instruments, Spansion, and other Fortune 50 technology companies. While we are extremely business savvy without your help we could not have successfully recovered from the devastating flood that destroyed Thailand in the fall of 2011. We are extremely impressed with the team you assembled to measure, evaluate and negotiate the building, machinery, contents, stock and business interruption aspects of our loss. You counteracted the insurance company with experts in every arena.

We knew that if we confined our efforts to restoring our business we would succeed, we also knew that if we had to divert even a small amount of our energies to the insurance adjustment both our business and the claim would suffer. We were also aware that we would have to deal with a trained adjuster sent by the insurance company to represent its interests-not ours. We were in a predicament. Even though we have attorneys and CPA's on retainer we are convinced that our own adjuster is the appropriate person to represent us in the adjustment of an insured property claim. Ken never left us alone with the many representatives and experts sent by the insurance company. He often met with them on his own allowing us to continue undiverted along the path towards full business restoration. He kept us well advised and he always consulted us before making any decision of consequence. His attention and diligence provided us with much more than just financial benefit. The substantial fee we paid to your company was earned many times over. We are certain that our recovery even after paying your fee was significantly greater than it would have been had we handled this claim on our own or with the advice of our attorneys and CPA's.

…all we could think about was getting our business back up and running. Naturally, we did not have the time or the expertise to deal with the arduous task of putting together our insurance claims. Through Arnie and Sue's guidance, expertise, perseverance and tenaciousness we were able to collect from the insurance company a settlement that is very much to our satisfaction. This was particularly evident on the loss of earnings claim.

When our Oxnard location burned- a total loss- we were surrounded by adjusters wanting to talk to us. We were told by our insurance company not to talk to them. Needless to say we were very confused. We didn't even understand the coverage we had been paying for the last twenty years. From all the confusion emerged Jerry from your office who explained to us our options, and quelled our fears about how to proceed. His professionalism, along with his associates, was just the beginning of what turned out to be an incredible learning experience. Throughout the process your team was always professional, but most of all patient in answering the many questions I posed- sometimes the same one again and again… I am confident that had we not brought you on to our team, we would have left hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table. Your fair commission was worth every penny.

How can I possible put into words how much of a difference it made to have had Ken Crown, Chris Glenister and yourself guiding METROTECH Corporation through the complexities of the insurance policy, tedious negotiations and arcane legalities surrounding this event. You and your team surely increased our claim collections from Kemper by $1 to $2 million over what I could have done on my own.

Then came the tedious and time-consuming business of dealing with the insurance company for the loss of my building and its contents. I was confident I could handle this claim on my own; everything was an apparent total loss. And as a member of the Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor, which oversees the insurance industry in the state of Nevada, I was certain I would be treated fairly...I finally realized that retaining The Greenspan Co./Adjusters International was in my best interest. I can only express my appreciation for the excellent representation of my interests in this claim by your company.

Welcome to the side of the insurance industry they never show in their ads! If you have never had the experience of trying to collect on a large insurance claim before I am sure you do not realize how badly you need the help of an expert like Bill Greenspan. It's easy to think 'I've been a good customer and paid my premiums for years so now those good folks will rush to my assistance just like in the ads.' Well perhaps...but let's look at the economics. After all economics and law are what drive and shape the behavior of businesses.
