Independent Adjusting from Instruction to Settlement
Precision Loss Adjustors delivers comprehensive claims adjusting services across all classes of engineering and commercial loss. From initial site attendance and forensic investigation through to damage quantification and settlement recommendation, our technical adjusters provide insurers with the independent, defensible reporting required to settle complex claims fairly and efficiently.
/// Why This Matters ///
Independent technical adjusting reduces settlement uncertainty, accelerates file closure, and provides insurers with the forensic certainty required to defend every claim outcome.
Executive Summary
“Our adjusting methodology is structured around five critical phases: immediate site attendance and evidence preservation, forensic root cause investigation, rigorous damage quantification, detailed policy interpretation, and clear settlement recommendations. Every report is designed to be defensible — whether the file is resolved amicably or proceeds to dispute.”
Detailed Methodology
Our structured approach to claims services
Immediate Site Attendance & Evidence Preservation
Upon instruction, our technical adjusters are mobilised within 24 hours to attend the loss site anywhere in Namibia. We secure the scene, preserve physical evidence, photograph damage systematically, and begin the preliminary damage assessment. Early attendance is critical — evidence degrades, and repairers begin work. Our first-on-scene protocol ensures that the technical record is established before any remediation takes place.
Forensic Root Cause Analysis
We establish the proximate cause of loss with technical certainty. This involves detailed engineering investigation of failure mechanisms — whether mechanical fatigue, electrical fault, fire origin, or structural collapse. We review maintenance records, interview operators and eyewitnesses, analyse failure patterns, and where necessary commission specialist metallurgical, electrical, or fire forensic testing.
Damage Quantification & Cost Reconciliation
Rigorous quantification of the insured loss including reinstatement cost estimates, bill of quantities evaluations, contractor quote reconciliation, and depreciation schedules. We validate every line item against market rates and ensure that only costs directly attributable to the insured event are included. Betterment, wear allowances, and maintenance items are clearly isolated.
Business Interruption Modelling
Expert modelling of business interruption losses using audited financial records, historical trading patterns, and production data. We calculate gross profit loss, increased cost of working, and savings during the indemnity period. For industrial risks, we apply critical path scheduling analysis to determine the true period of disruption attributable to the physical damage.
Policy Interpretation & Coverage Notes
We provide detailed policy interpretation notes advising insurers on coverage intent, applicable exclusions, conditions precedent, and the application of average. Our coverage notes are structured to support the claims handler's file narrative and provide a clear technical basis for settlement decisions.
