Why Use Insurance Archaeology Services (IAS)?
Our job is to identify and locate old (usually pre-1986) liability, property, pollution, and/or excess/umbrella policies on behalf of our clients.
Many of our clients are facing immediate or pending exposure to significant environmental claims/lawsuits involving soil and/or ground water contamination.
Other clients are facing immediate or pending exposure to asbestos claims, talc claims, sexual assault claims, and other complex insurance claims.
IAS believes that a comparatively small dollar outlay for insurance archaeology will usually result in identifying insurance policies providing hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, of coverage protection (i.e., both defense costs/indemnity) for our clients.
Our clients deserve this level of insurance coverage and protection. We can help!
