Practice Group | Bassford Remele

Arson and fraud claims present major challenges to the insurance industry and require specific and particular experience. Proper handling of these claims is the key to building a successful arson or fraud defense, beginning with an immediate and thorough investigation of the scene.

Since 2002, Bassford Remele has advised and represented insurance companies in all aspects of arson and fraud litigation. We have the broad experience and well-established connections within the community to help our clients navigate these complex and often sensitive cases, offering counsel on investigation and management tools, including examinations under oath, the survey of important and necessary documents, retention of appropriate experts, and communication with local and state agencies. We work closely with claims personnel to ensure that regulatory procedures are followed and appropriate measures are taken to protect the insurer’s rights throughout the investigation and adjustment of the claim, as well as in all aspects of any litigation.
