Extent of survey
We understand that insurers and other principals may have guidelines as to the extent of surveyors' work. Manu Marine will always accept definite instructions as the limit of the work required. These may be one or more, for example, of the following:-For insurers (eg cargo, hull, pleasurecraft):
- Conduct a damage survey only and report on cause, nature and extent of the loss.
- Report on claimant's actions regarding recovery rights and mitigation.
- Assist the claimant in protecting recovery rights and assist in the mitigation process
- All of the above plus review the insured’s final claim statement with comment on its attachment to the casualty
- All of the above with provision of an adjustment for consideration under the terms and conditions of the policy.
By default and unless otherwise instructed we will provide reports and carry out 1, 2, 3 and 4 above. For third party liability interests:-
- Conduct a damage survey only and report on cause, nature and extent of the loss.
- Report on claimant's actions regarding mitigation.
- Review the claimant’s final claim statement with comment on its attachment to the casualty.
