Desktop Claims Processing
As pioneers in the field of insurance services in the country, Cunningham Lindsey has always strived towards providing its clients innovative means and processes for settling and managing claims. Using its IT infrastructure and technological capability, the business has developed a process that manages claims without visits to site. The desktop claims process is for claims up to a certain quantum, as stipulated by the client, and allows the adjuster to assess small losses online, without visiting the loss location. Documentation is received and scrutinized through a sophisticated process delivery system, thereby subjecting the Insured to minimum problems. Minimum documentary evidence is called for, to substantiate the loss, for Insurers to settle claims faster and more efficiently.

Liability
Cunningham Lindsey International Pvt. Ltd. understands the complex nature of liability claims and has the resources and capability to undertake, investigate and resolve such losses. We understand the effect such claims might have on the function of the Insured's business and thus realize the need for compliance with confidentiality. We handle liability claims at low cost and ensure that full, in-depth research is undertaken, to ensure all details and sequence of events is understood. We seek to avoid litigation and minimize conflict with an aim to settle the claims at an early stage. We aim to identify those cases that warrant early settlement or those cases that should be defended and suggest Insurers proceed with them accordingly. Where necessary, we engage experts to assist with ascertaining liability and quantum, e.g. forensic accountants, engineers and other specialists. When litigation cannot be avoided, we source the most appropriate expert witnesses and work with lawyers to manage the process to the best outcome for all. Our approach is one of partnership, with a mutuality of trust, coupled with transparency and openness.

Financial and Special Risks
Financial claims and obligations arise out of contractual relationships between institutional units. A financial claim entitles a creditor to receive a payment, or payments, from a debtor, in circumstances specified in a contract between them. We provide specialist loss adjusting and risk management expertise across a wide spectrum of financial, commercial crime, professional indemnity and product recall.
We employ economists, chartered accountants, lawyers and management specialists to deal with financial liabilities. Our experts keep in touch with the latest around the globe and keep abreast with the latest developments in the financial sector.
