Most public adjusters have very little experience handing the complexities of property losses to manufacturing facilities. These claims are quite complex and require a considerable understanding of the manufacturing process at hand and knowledge about the production equipment, as well as depreciation accounting. Our forensic accounting team places additional emphasis on the accurate and complete compilation of business interruption loss claims, without which it is nearly impossible to remain in business. Sill is unquestionably the nation’s leading expert in manufacturing insurance claims. Ask us for our lengthy reference list in this area.
Equipment breakdowns frequently result in significant losses for manufacturers and distribution companies. Insurance coverage for such occurrences is generally separate and apart from standard commercial property insurance forms. That coverage, sometimes referred to as “boiler and machinery” coverage, is coverage for loss due to mechanical or electrical breakdown of nearly any type of equipment, including photocopiers and computers. Coverage applies to the cost to repair or replace the equipment and any other equipment damaged by the equipment breakdown. Resulting business income and extra expense loss is often covered as well. Sill is generally regarded as the nation’s leading expert in mechanical equipment claims, with vast experience in all types of industry.
Adjusting claims on behalf of real estate owners and property managers, including apartments and condominiums, shopping centers and malls, office buildings along with other single user and multi-tenant structures requires substantial experience in review of leases and condominium documents, identifying and segregating insurable interests between the owner and tenant policies or between the condominium association and the condo owners, and experience in projecting loss periods for the proper documentation of rental and income loss claims.
The hospitality industry, including hotels, motels and resorts, historically has a high incidence of property damage claims as a result of exposure to losses from all types of perils. The application of depreciation to real and personal property combined with the sophistication and experience needed to project loss periods for the proper documentation of business interruption claims are critical issues that must be most significantly addressed by an insured and the public adjuster valuing the loss.
Restaurants, catering facilities and other retail food enterprises encounter unique issues when suffering property damage. The initial issues of properly estimating the damage to building, equipment and décor and then calculating both business income loss and determining the loss period can be quite complex. A public adjuster’s extensive experience in quickly and successfully adjusting claims in the restaurant and food service business is key to ensuring that you are up and operating again in the shortest possible time frame.
Public and private schools, from elementary through high school to college and beyond sustain losses that require administrators to meet two goals — those of recouping damages and providing for quick resolution of claims. Sill has worked extensively with boards of education and university officials to obtain speedy, successful recoveries.
Churches, synagogues and other faith-based institutions are subject to significant property losses. Indeed, these times of crisis can be overwhelming to the religious and lay staff as well as the boards of trustees who typically are not accustomed to dealing with events of this nature. Sill’s building, contents and business interruption personnel are veterans in handling these difficult claims, helping these congregations repair and/or rebuild and getting its members feet back into house of worship seats.
Property losses incurred by private membership clubs compel professional club managers and boards of trustees to expertly remediate the damage. Members of these athletic, country, dining, and social clubs expect the facility to be fully restored immediately to comparable or better conditions. Sill has successfully represented many private club losses throughout the country, providing professional guidance and assuming responsibility for management of the property claim.
Sill has worked with many governmental entities helping to appraise and compile claims. Our ability to be on-site immediately following a loss has spelled a meaningful difference to our many satisfied governmental clients.
Having a diverse background as an attorney and a certified public accountant, along with all the
complexities of the dairy industry, I was strongly contemplating adjusting the claim myself.
After the process began, I quickly realized that I would have been in over my head and would have
cost the Soehnlen family millions of dollars.
"The adjusting process with the insurance industry needs the specializations that the members of
your organization possess. With the help of Alex N. Sill, Superior was able to collect almost
2 million dollars more than our original expectations."

I think most people would be surprised to know that the insurance company hires experts to prepare the claim for them. Although . . . they claim to be 'independent,' they are not. Without your involvement we would have had to negotiate with these experts on our own. The result would have been disastrous.
Sill ultimately recovered an amount almost three times the amount their experts wanted us to settle for. I would advise anyone with a major claim like ours to hire the Sill Company. We did and it made all the difference.

On behalf of the French Market Corporation, I would like to offer my appreciation for your ongoing work on the hurricane damage claims to the historic French Market in New Orleans, Louisiana. As I am sure you will agree, Hurricane Katrina has brought some unprecedented challenges in adjusting our claims and I am confident we would be struggling without your professional guidance.
It has been a pleasure working with you and I would not hesitate to offer my recommendation of the Alex Sill Company in the future. Please give my best to Keith Brenneman for his thorough evaluation of our historic buildings.

Without the benefits of your firm's expertise and professional employees we, DePauw University, would not have been able to have reached a fair settlement of recovering the values of our building and content.
