The Wait is Over

A Stressed Insurance Adjuster in front of pile of unsolved files

Moving Complex Claims from ‘Pending’ to ‘Closed’ with Decisive Forensic Insight

For claims adjusters and insurance professionals, there’s a unique kind of weight associated with a complex technical file. It sits on the corner of your desk—or at the top of your inbox—a constant reminder of capital held in reserve, a pending client conversation, and a Loss Adjustment Expense that quietly grows with each passing week.

We’ve all seen it. A critical piece of equipment fails, a fire’s origin is unclear, or a structural issue arises. A forensic investigator is assigned, and then… the waiting begins. The initial sense of progress gives way to a holding pattern. Weeks turn into months, sometimes longer, and the definitive answer needed to move the file forward remains just out of reach.

This delay isn’t just a matter of patience; it’s a matter of performance. The true cost of an open forensic file isn’t found on the expert’s invoice. It’s measured in the mounting LAE, the erosion of subrogation potential, and the strain that uncertainty places on the relationship with the insured. It’s the cost of stalled momentum.

At Mission Critical Forensics, we believe the discipline applied to an investigation must match the urgency of the claim. Our approach was forged in environments where failure is not an option. We see every investigation not as an academic exercise, but as the critical path to a business decision.

Our process is engineered for claim velocity. By delivering a clear, data-driven, and actionable conclusion within weeks, we provide the technical certainty that directly leads to:

  • Reduced Adjuster’s Time on File: We provide an immediate, actionable path forward, eliminating weeks of deciphering vague quotes or chasing down information.
  • Minimized “Battle of the Experts”: Our thorough, systemic analysis is built to withstand scrutiny, preventing the costly and time-consuming disputes that can stall a file for months.
  • Accelerated Claim Resolution: By providing technical certainty on cause and scope, we shorten the claim’s lifecycle and its associated administrative costs.
  • A Clearer Path for Subrogation: We quickly identify whether a viable recovery target exists, allowing your team to make a swift, informed decision.

This isn’t about rushing the science; it’s about respecting the operational realities of the insurance industry. A definitive conclusion delivered with timeliness is the catalyst that empowers you to confidently set reserves, pursue recovery, and close files with certainty. It stops the slow leak of LAE and restores momentum. Mission Critical Forensics (MCF) is the specialized forensic engineering division of Mission Critical Engineers Ltd., providing definitive conclusions for complex insurance claims.

The Anatomy of a Defensible Forensic Engineering Report: What to Include and What to Leave Out

When a catastrophic failure or complex equipment malfunction occurs, stakeholders look to forensic engineers for clarity. But not all engineering reports are created equal. A legally defensible forensic report does more than present data; it bridges the gap between complex science and the legal claims process. From establishing a meticulous factual foundation to proving a clear, unbroken causal link, discover the essential elements your next forensic engineering report must include—and the critical red flags to avoid—to ensure your case is built on a solid foundation of truth.

New Equipment Failure: Who Pays? A Forensic Guide to Warranty vs. EB Claims

When new equipment fails, a costly impasse occurs as the manufacturer’s warranty and the owner’s Equipment Breakdown (EB) insurance deny the claim, each citing policy exclusions that point to the other. This dispute is only resolved by a forensic engineer, who is retained as an unbiased third party to determine the objective, scientific root cause. Through a systematic investigation—such as a chemical analysis of a failed compressor’s oil to find corrosive acid or tracing a switchgear failure to an electrical code-violating improper bond —the engineer’s report provides the definitive, evidence-based proof required to break the stalemate and assign financial liability.
