Report A Claim

This form is to be completed in the event of a loss or damage to company property. As part of an insured’s duties in managing a property claim, it is imperative the following steps are taken once a loss has occurred:

  • Make repairs if reasonable and necessary to protect the property from further damage
  • Maintain a record of all expenses incurred protecting the property
  • Separate damaged from undamaged personal property, if possible
  • Take photos of the damaged property

Acquisitions & Lender Compliance

Sending acquisitions to market is one of our biggest differentiators. We pride ourselves on our ability to find the most competitive placements in the market. At time of acquisition, we understand the importance of achieving the lowest cost of insurance and will pursue all available options in the marketplace to accomplish this.

Franklin Street provides unmatched value in delivering the most competitive insurance solution in the market due to our experience, access to the largest insurance companies in the world, and regional package / program markets. We consider ourselves part of your team and are dedicated to open, consistent communication and attaining the most competitive premium possible, while at the same time maintaining quality coverage that meets or exceeds all insurance requirements.

The Franklin Street Difference

  • We provide formal insurance indication on all potential acquisitions during “call for offers” process (pre-contract)
  • We ensure compliance with all lender, investor, and other third-party insurance requirements
  • We negotiate insurance requirements as needed
  • We facilitate the LOMA process for locations in flood zones in order to further lower insurance costs
  • We confirm all premiums with your team prior to releasing to lender
  • We provide a formal pricing for all potential acquisitions after conducting a detailed analysis of the location
  • We understand the importance of competitive insurance costs in the underwriting and financing of new acquisitions

Claims & Risk Management

Through our established procedures on the oversight and management of claims, Franklin Street strives to achieve the best results that will positively impact our clients’ assets. 

Franklin Street ensures the most favorable outcomes by analyzing coverage disputes and preparing rebuttals to carriers. We collaborate with carriers to develop financial reserves on given claims. Leveraging these relationships ensures we can provide specialized resources and partners in the adjustment of the claims process. Franklin Street will also nominate a dedicated Executive General Adjuster to handle all first party property losses.

Our Risk Management Services have been established to ensure our clients are actively improving onsite protocols that reduce the number of incidents and reported claims. Each client has a unique risk profile with a set of challenges we will help mitigate. Franklin Street will develop a comprehensive risk management plan to mitigate or eliminate risks by providing resources and guidance.

We oversee the adjuster’s handling of the file and ensure the investigations are completed in a timely manner. We provide the carrier with- recommendations on how to handle the claim and provide our evaluation of a settlement value. With prior carrier adjusting experience, our advocates have the knowledge to ensure that claims are handled properly.

Our team does not set limits to the amount of time we dedicate to our clients. We invest as much time that is necessary to satisfy needs and accomplish goals that have been established. Our team motto is, “when our clients are thinking about insurance, we’re not doing our job”.

Program Administration

  • Provide all documents including policies, invoices, allocations, certificates, and all acquisition documents in online client portal
  • Provide certificates of insurance evidencing coverage to all lenders and equity partners
  • Create individual invoices based on premium allocation and send to lender for payment

Data Analytics

We utilize business intelligence software to conduct in-depth analyses of the data in our clients’ portfolios, identifying favorable trends and characteristics.

With this technology, information is easily observable when reviewing the traditional submission documents that most brokers provide underwriters, allowing us to achieve a better solution. We are able to present these findings to underwriters in a creative and interactive manner minimizing their uncertainty and focusing on the positives of a portfolio.

Factors In Our Data Analysics Include But Are Not Limited To:

Occupancy

Vintage

Geographic Location

Exposure To Natural Catastrophic Perils

Construction

Fire Protection

Current Program Structure & Pricing

Loss History

In addition to utilizing this software for submissions we also use it to track claims data. Analyzing exposure and claim data, we can better project future frequency and severity of liability losses to set as a benchmark goal. This information we compile will also be shared with Underwriters where favorable to negotiate renewal premiums with carriers.
