TRANSPORTATION

We have teams that specialize in truck, bus, livery, and towing claims. Each of these claims types are unique, requiring experienced handlers and mandating an immediate, in-depth investigation. Our trucking teams have specialists dedicated to handling a specific aspect of a loss, such as the cargo, the vehicle damage, or the injury claims. Our bus team is geared to handle the injury claims of each passenger while remaining vigilant against “jump-in” claimants. Our livery team has a depth of experience in handling taxi and black car programs and the demanding exposures that they present. Our towing team is experienced in handling damages to vehicles “on-hook” and dealing with cargo in the vehicles, while focusing on getting your equipment back on the road.

CONSTRUCTION DEFECT

Over the past two decades the volume of construction defect litigation has multiplied exponentially. The skill sets required to manage the resultant claims are diverse. Knowledge of coverage forms, contracting, torts, and construction are critical. We have teams of our most experienced casualty and property handlers that focus only on construction defect claims, providing a depth of talent that is unsurpassed by any other administrator.

We have a vast network of qualified local engineers, contractors, attorneys and appraisal specialists at our disposal that can provide a valuable resource to resolve these claims. To keep abreast of the issues, new legislation, and legal outcomes in this dynamic field, we actively sponsor continuing education for our adjusters and managers. Our technical expertise will remain unmatched in our industry.
WORKERS COMPENSATION

The NARS Workers Compensation units feature highly-trained, highly-qualified examiners, averaging over 15 years of experience that are licensed across multiple jurisdictions. Because of our experience, we are able to ask the right questions to determine the compensability of the claim and understand the medical issues related to the injury. Our claims management systems allow us to maximize cost containment opportunities while meeting or exceeding the timelines required in even the most stringent jurisdictions.

We actively seek out new ways to lower the cost of workers compensation claims to our clients. Because your employees are valuable to you, we explore the best ways to return an injured person to work, proving a solution that works well for everyone. We will provide the best possible outcome for your claims.

Trucking

NARS understands the special needs of truckers and our focus is to get our drivers back on the road quickly. We handle auto liability, non-trucking use, and unladen liability claims and are skilled in dealing with the intricacies of each. We promptly adjudicate downtime claims and deal with leasing and rental concerns for your clients. Recovery and salvage of your cargo is a priority. Trucking is a passion and we are actively involved in several industry-specific organizations, including TIDA and the Truckload Carriers Association.
Towing and Recovery

The towing and recovery industry is a specialized commercial automobile niche requiring automobile liability, garage liability, GKLL and cargo expertise to handle properly. NARS handles one of the largest inventories of towing and recovery claims in the country. As with other specialized programs, NARS assigns the handling of these losses to adjusters with significant experience not just in commercial automobile claims generally, but tow truck claims specifically. Our dedicated towing and recovery specialists remain current with industry trends, regularly attend industry events and are educated at industry specific training facilities such as WreckMaster. We don’t just handle towing losses; we get involved with the industry.
Bus

We’ve handled independent school bus programs, sightseeing, charter, and shuttle buses. Each requires special skills and resources not available to most administrators. When an accident happens and many people are involved, we will mobilize to promptly investigate and control the claim.
Livery

One of our first programs was a taxi program. As our expertise grew, we began to handle black car programs, smaller shuttle bus, and auto rental programs. Each has unique aspects that demand skilled handling, local investigators and contacts. Prompt investigation and evaluation is paramount in handling these challenging claims.
