J.S. Held Acquires Shechter & Everett to Expand Forensic Accounting Capabilities for Family Law Disputes in Florida
Read MoreJ.S. Held was engaged by an insurance carrier to evaluate business interruption impacts due to a fire that occurred in an aircraft testing wind tunnel. As a result of extinguishing the wind tunnel fire, we learned that the insured had experienced severe water damage, causing stairwells and offices to be completely flooded in addition to the damage already caused by the fire.
When J.S. Held was engaged by the insurance carrier, we immediately began communications with the carrier, the insured, and the insured’s public adjuster. Our forensic accounting team quantified business interruption impacts as well as expenses incurred due to the loss, while our environmental, health, and safety team assessed the moisture hazards and drying impacts. Additionally, our equipment consultants evaluated machinery to determine whether each piece could be reused, repaired, or required replacement. Working collaboratively, our equipment and forensic accounting teams prioritized critical replacements to restore operations quickly and minimize business interruption.
