Catastrophe Services

Whether natural or man-made, catastrophic losses and disasters are no challenge for CIA's CAT Team of experts who are highly trained and have extensive experience with the challenges presented by these types of losses.

Custard has implemented a unique approach for disaster preparedness, teaming with our Client Partners to identify potential issues and prepare specific plans for immediate response. This partnering effort enables us to meet our client's specific needs and expectations in the most timely, efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

CIA takes great pride in the expertise and quality product produced by our claims personnel. The Catastrophe Team is comprised of adjusters and managers specifically selected for their catastrophe training, experience and qualifications. Our adjusters are carefully screened, receiving a thorough background check and periodic, random drug screenings. Reviews are conducted on CAT field personnel with a test claim system to evaluate their experience and capabilities in work product and coverage knowledge. These reviews then allow our CAT Team to establish various levels of expertise to meet any of our Client Partner's specific requirements. Our adjusters continue to be evaluated periodically to provide the highest level of proficiency possible.

Additionally, CIA has a strategic preplanning process in place with our Client Partners so that all field adjusters have correct policy information and handling guidelines when claims are disbursed. This alleviates wasted time at a CAT location by eliminating the need for training sessions before claims are inspected. All members of our CAT Team are required to attend an annual multi-day training seminar to receive the most up-to-date instruction and documentation unique to catastrophic loss adjusting, as well as specific client instructions.

CIA's catastrophe expertise includes on-scene handling of:

  • Hurricanes
  • Tornadoes
  • Earthquakes
  • Hail
  • Flood
  • Explosions
  • Civil Commotion
Our CAT Management Team consistently provides efficient, professional and cost effective management of our Client Partners' catastrophe operations. Let CIA put our years of experience, integrity and quality service to work for you. Choose Custard Insurance Adjusters for your catastrophe response needs and get the competitive edge.
