Why Our Claims Advocacy Process Is the Best – KMRD
When you file an insurance claim it usually means an unplanned event has occurred, and unplanned events are almost never good news. That’s why it’s so important to be able to trust the claims advocacy process and have it work for you – not against you. Best case scenario is your claims are filed professionally and timely, and honored in full. But how often does “best case” happen for you? If your answer is “not enough” or “never” then it’s time to meet KMRD.
How the KMRD Advocacy Process Works
At KMRD, our team of claims professionals have unparalleled expertise and are ready to advocate for coverage and resolution of claims, negotiate on your behalf for optimal outcomes, and even conduct claims reviews and strategy sessions. We’re set up to advocate on your behalf to streamline all facets of the claims advocacy process and take a proactive role to make sure claims get paid quickly, costs are reduced, and productivity goes up.
Our goal is to help reduce the frequency, impact and severity of your claims, get claims paid quickly, and reduce your overall loss picture.
We are your champions focused on reducing premiums and the overall cost of risk by maximizing coverage on first party coverages such as property, liability and workers compensation losses. We increase communication and results by submitting claims to the carrier in a clear manner designed to trigger coverage. Because lawsuits often include many allegations, some of which had not been anticipated by the insurance policy, we focus on allegations that trigger the carrier to defend our insureds and provide coverage.
In preparing claims follow-ups to carriers and status updates to clients, our claims team challenge the carrier in fundamental areas including description of circumstances that gave rise to the claim, the current paid, reserves and expenses and the rationale behind reserves. We challenge the rationale if they consider it to be invalid.

In addition to preparing a resolution strategy, we’ll even coach claims service providers to change strategies if we mutually decide these strategies will not achieve the desired results. When there is a claim, our team will submit an estimated time frame for resolution. And we always push for resolution. We also suggest risk control initiatives to prevent this type of claim from recurring.

This approach assists you in budgeting and forecasting future premiums and making better-informed business decisions.
