You Need an Unbiased Risk and Insurance Manager
It’s a tough world, and you need someone on your side of the table.
-
No matter what your agent or broker says, they work for themselves. Their revenue comes from insurance carriers, and not you.
-
You need someone aligned to your interests. We don’t sell insurance – we work for you.
-
Your financial department looks at premiums and costs, not contracts and exposures. Your legal department looks only at contracts, not at premiums or operations. We see the big picture.
-
You don’t have enough time to learn it. The DIY approach does not work. We bring the experience and knowledge.
You don’t want to hire someone full time.
The best of all worlds – an outsourced risk manager.
About Our Work
With 4 decades of risk and insurance management experience, Risk Review Consulting brings a passion and willingness to work from the big picture all the way to the details in the insurance contracts.
We work on a fee basis only – we are not paid any commission and do not sell insurance.
We offer a 1-hour free consultation to learn about your business, identify issues and develop a proposal for services.
As an option, we can work on a contingency basis - our fee is paid by the amount we save your business or organization.
What To Expect
We will:
Work with you and your staff to gather information, documents and data.
Provide action steps and recommendations that are aligned with your mission and values.
Stay within our project cost or annual retainer. No unexpected expenses.
Typical Offerings
We offer a wide list of offerings - from very short projects and advice to long term retainer relationships
Short Term Projects
Specific Assignments
Longer Term/Retainers
Review current coverages and provide recommendations on what to buy and what to avoid. Create action steps, cost estimates and timeline for coverage and premium changes.
Analyze loss histories, compare with current Loss Control activities, and recommend action steps.
Compare renewal coverages to prior coverages, identify gaps and overlaps and recommend changes.
Review paid, denied or underpaid claims, compare to coverages and identify options for appeal, subrogation or litigation. Identify coverage changes and action steps to mitigate.
Identify contractual risks assumed in vendor agreements, leases and sales agreements, identify gaps with current coverages or eliminate overlaps.
Identify potential savings by creating a Request for Proposal process for competitive bids from carriers and/or brokers - create bid specifications and loss summaries, obtain and compare quotes, and negotiate lower premiums.
Train your existing staff on how to manage broker relationships, select carriers, control risks and manage claims.
Often we can offset the cost of our fee with the premium savings and claims payments gained
