The Cunningham Lindsey Group

Addressing the Risk Life Cycle

The goal of the group is to serve Cunningham Lindsey clients through every step of what it calls, the “risk life cycle”: Loss, Post-loss, Mitigation, and Pre-loss.

Let’s say that a building owned by a Cunningham Lindsey client burns down. The company sends a loss adjusting team to the site of the fire as well as a team from InTrust, a subsidiary trained in dealing with different loss areas on a local level.

After the claim is settled, the company will send in analysts and construction experts like a team from Sergon, another subsidiary specializing in building consultancy to analyze why the fire occurred and how to rebuild to avoid a similar accident in the future.

To further prepare for any loss events in the future, Cunningham Lindsey will send in a team from Sergon to do a complete inspection of the building or from another subsidiary like Vale Training to ensure that building staff is familiar with the applicable protocols to limit the loss when accidents do occur.

By using different experts on a micro level to handle different areas of the claims management and risk mitigation process, Cunningham Lindsey can provide the best possible service to all types of clients.
