What our insureds say about us

Structural Engineer/Professional Liability

The Situation: Our long-time insured is a structural engineer that designs bridges. One of the bridges they designed had a large section of concrete collapse, which fell on a car and tragically killed the occupants.

Admiral Claims Response: We accepted the defense of the case when our insured was sued by the victims’ families. Our claims department put this claim on a fast track and handled the claim as swiftly and fairly as possible in order to get some relief for the victims’ families. After the settlement, the insured sent a letter thanking us for our empathetic approach and quick resolution to this claim.

I know this has had financial impact to Admiral, but I really appreciate the way your company has stepped up to handle this matter in a manner that has not detracted from our business continuation.

Insurance Agent/Professional Liability

The Situation: The insured is an insurance agent who placed a policy for a deli/bar. The deli/bar policy had liquor liability coverage but no assault and battery coverage. A patron was injured by an intoxicated patron, and the deli/bar’s insurer denied coverage based on an assault and battery exclusion. The deli/bar asserted professional negligence against the insurance agent for failing to procure correct coverage.

Admiral Claims Response: The matter went to trial in June and our panel counsel was successful at trial after the jury found that the insured did not misrepresent a material fact when discussing the policy with the deli/bar owner. After trial, the insured sent a note to our panel counsel:

I would like to say thank you so much for all your help! I am very impressed with your hard work over the last 8 years. You hired the best lawyer for me. Bob and his staff were fantastic and they did a great job! I think because of you (counsel) and Admiral Insurance Company, that is why we won my case today! This is great team work!

Manufacturer of Exercise Equipment/Product Liability

The Situation: The insured was a manufacturer of exercise equipment. The claimant was using the equipment for its intended purpose when a bolt on the machine sheared, causing him to fall and sustain injuries.

Admiral Claims Response: With the assistance of defense counsel, Admiral was successful in reaching a prompt settlement before extensive discovery was to take place. Our insured was grateful for our team’s approach.

Great job by you and [counsel]. I’m thrilled it settled. Costs would have sky rocketed with further discovery and experts. Thanks again for your expertise in getting this one done!
