Sample Engagements

Run-off Book of Business Investigated

Alan Gray LLC was assigned the handling of a run-off book of business consisting of several hundred open claims files involving complicated commercial trucking liability, professional liability and general liability exposures. These files had not been properly handled and were grossly under-reserved. An initial audit performed by Alan Gray LLC consisted of reviewing every open file. Within 30-60 days, all indemnity and expense reserves were adjusted to the proper levels based on this audit. Alan Gray LLC claims expertise resulted in promptly expediting the resolution of the vast majority of the open claims by aggressively working with defense counsel and diligently pursuing settlement conferences and mediations throughout the United States. The outstanding claims were reduced to a minimum number in approximately 2½ years resulting in extensive savings on the money that was projected to be incurred by the client’s actuaries.

Indemnity Settlements and Expense Billings Related to Asbestos Exposures

Working for one insured, Alan Gray LLC was responsible for processing indemnity settlements and expense billings for 8-12 different insurers related to asbestos exposures. The processing consisted of correctly allocating the indemnity settlements and payments to various years of coverage; securing the funds from 12 carriers to pay the settlements and expenses, and issuing checks for payment. In addition, time-sensitive quarterly in-house audits of claims submissions from various plaintiff law firms were conducted under an administrative settlement agreement to ensure the submissions were in compliance with the agreement. Detailed and accurate results were delivered to coordinating counsel for the insurers, allowing them to promptly collect substantial money from their reinsurers.
