Investigation Services - Waters Tyler Hofmann & Scott, LLC

Scene Investigation:
Our scene investigation team ensures that we are getting firsthand knowledge. This allows us to develop specific strategies as we review and analyze the details from the scene. Whether the accident occurred indoors or outdoors, our investigators meticulously document and collect evidence and information to help determine what happened.

Insurance Coverage Investigation:
Conducting a coverage analysis is a little like doing a jigsaw puzzle. Our insurance coverage attorneys review all available facts and evidence relating to a loss, closely examine the relevant terms of the applicable insurance policy, identify issues which bear on whether or not the policy provides coverage for that loss, and slowly put all the pieces together to arrive at a complete picture. Coverage work is highly detail-oriented, and we have had cases come down to punctuation usage in a policy! We assist our insurance company clients – half a dozen national property and casualty carriers – by evaluating coverage for both first-party and third-party claims either before or during underlying litigation and advise as to the company client’s ultimate rights and obligations under the policy. Our work often involves the analysis of putative additional insureds, coverage tenders, indemnity claims, and the priority of multiple insurance policies. Our coverage work often overlaps with our arson and fraud investigation and can ultimately result in coverage litigation.

Arson & Fraud Investigation:
Our arson and fraud attorneys work closely with SIU representatives for our insurance clients to examine first-party (and occasional third-party) claims involving suspicious findings. We assist with gathering and examining all relevant documentation from the insured and/or other parties, conducting examinations under oath, reviewing pertinent records such as banking, financial, employment, or phone records, and assessing the validity of a loss. This work dovetails with our pre-litigation insurance coverage work in that we examine whether the applicable insurance policy ultimately provides coverage for the loss.
