Increasing concerns about the impact of leaking underground storage tanks on residential, commercial, and industrial properties have led insurance carriers to choose more than just a tank removal and/or remediation company to address their complex needs. Costs and services associated with environmental claims are usually site specific; therefore, insurance carriers are best served by a company that has the knowledge and experience to handle all aspects of an environmental claims project.

Due to our extensive background and experience, JMS provides insurance companies with the information needed to evaluate environmental concerns for coverage determination and provide project oversight. The claim oversight services we offer are designed to streamline investigation and remediation activities, and to confirm that the services rendered by the insured’s contractor are being performed in a cost effective and expedient manner. JMS is certified by the NJDEP in tank closure and subsurface evaluation, and works closely with claims adjustment teams to bring each claim to a successful conclusion.

JMS provides the following insurance claim investigation and oversight services:

• Third party coverage determination
• Collection of samples for forensic analysis (age dating and source content)
• Contractor oversight and claim management
• Remedial investigation activities for project closure
• Evaluation of contractor invoices for appropriate and general industry charges
• Preparation and submittal of technical reports for No Further Action approval
