When bad weather strikes, the claims for damage from wind, hail, lightning, and other perils are sure to follow. All too often, some of those claims are fraudulent. Some are inflated, some fabricated — often by organized rings that persuade property owners to seek new “free” roofs or other upgrades by claiming weather-related damage. In this web seminar, you’ll learn about Weather Forensic Reports, a new ISO service that can help you detect and prevent fraudulent weather-related claims and expedite payment of legitimate claims. Weather Forensic Reports are a joint project of the ISO ClaimSearch® Decision Net® service and ISO’s sister company Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER).
