TRANSCRIPT

Intro: [00:00:02] Broadcasting Live from RISKWORLD 2022 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, it’s time for Workplace MVP. Brought to you by R3 Continuum, a global leader in helping workplaces thrive during disruptive times. Now, here’s your host.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:00:22] Hi, everyone. Your host, Jamie Gassmann here with Workplace MVP. And I am coming to you from the RISKWORLD 2022 Expo Hall in R3 Continuum’s booth. And joining me is Lindsey Durosko and Chris Chris von Eljaszewicz from Imperium Consulting Group.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:00:42] That’s right.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:00:43] Welcome to the show, you two.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:00:44] Thanks for having us.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:00:45] Thanks so much. Excited to be here.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:00:47] And did I pronounce both your names accurately? I know I was practicing before we got on audio radio.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:00:53] Right. That is correct.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:00:53] Wonderful. So, tell me a little bit about your company, and a little bit about you, and, you know, why you’re here at the RIMS Show.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:01:01] Yeah, I’ll start. So, claims consulting is really what we do. So, we do builder’s risk claims, contract dispute claims, anything where there’s been a loss or where there was a loss. Maybe a fire, a flood, we come in and help to mitigate that loss, recover any moneys to the policyholder, the insured, and help them recover to where they were pre-loss.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:01:23] OKay. And, no,w I know, Chris, you’re the director.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:01:26] Yes.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:01:26] So, talk to me a little bit about kind of your background and what you do for the organization.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:01:31] Right. So, my background is in finance and management. So, I’ve been doing calculating economic damages for a long time now. And with Imperium, it’s basically the same thing. We calculate the loss, see what happened, and try to get as much value back to the policyholders as possible.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:01:51] Yeah. And so, you guys are an exhibitor here at the conference.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:01:54] Yes.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:01:54] We are.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:01:55] So, you know, I know it’s kind of the first day, and it’s only about like halfway through, like, the first few hours of the show. So, how has it been so far for you in terms of traffic and the conversations that you’ve been having?

Lindsey Durosko: [00:02:09] Yeah, we’ve gotten quite a bit of traffic, which has been nice at our booth. We’re booth 410, to get that out there. Who’s been coming to our booth, Chris? A lot of people who are in risk, risk mitigation-

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:02:23] Mitigation, right.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:02:23] … and restoration companies. But we’ve been having great conversations just about how we can help mitigate losses. And everybody kind of has that same mindset here too, like what can we do to make sure we put the risk everywhere else? And that’s what-

Jamie Gassmann: [00:02:40] Yeah, and offset it. So, in terms of like a customer coming to you, and you talk about the mitigation of those losses, that’s from a physical perspective, right? Property laws maybe, some of the liability around that. Talk to me a little bit about what does that customer experience look like. So, if I’m a policyholder with you, and I’m coming to you because something has happened-

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:03:00] Something happened.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:03:01] … kind of walk me through the scenario of like what does your services look like, and how do you dive into evaluating that risk that I might have?

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:03:13] So, they would call us up, and we would kind of guide them through the process, like you would probably set up a couple of different account numbers just to pull in the costs with everything that’s related to the claim, so it’s easier to separate that from your daily business that you do. And then, they would just start sending us. For instance, if there’s a loss, they would start sending us like invoices and things like that. We would start to categorize those and review the policy to see how those fit in and just kind of put together a claim for them. And I had a conversation earlier with a gentleman, he didn’t know that even existed. But, actually, in the policy, there is a clause, a section there for a claim preparation. And it’s covered. It’s covered by the policy, so cost.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:03:59] Helps them kind of organize it, so they’re kind of maybe seeing everything collectively.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:04:05] Right.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:04:05] Right. And I think, sometimes, it’s hard for the policyholder to translate their issues to the carrier. So, we kind of are the middleman to help them put together all their costs, put together that claim in a way that makes sense to the carrier to get as much money as we can from the carrier to the insured. So, we’re basically like an advocate on behalf of the client, working for them to make sure, you know, we can put everything together that’s possible. Like Chris said, putting together invoices, putting together all that backup documentation that the policyholders just don’t have the resources to do, you know, on a daily basis. And they become quite cumbersome, you know, these RFIs that we get back from the carrier. So, it’s good to have somebody else, an expert, come in and be able to evaluate and put together a strategy in, you know, recovering that claim and bringing you to the pre-loss, you know.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:04:53] Yeah. And I’m imagining if somebody is going through like, let’s say, a fire in their facility, I mean, that’s overwhelming in and of itself. They’ve got their people they’ve got to take care of.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:05:00] All of these.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:05:01] So, having someone like you to be able to help them with-

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:05:03] We’ll take that off their heads, yeah.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:05:04] … that’s fantastic.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:05:07] Yeah, yeah.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:05:07] It’s a little bit of peace of mind, too, for the insured. You know, somebody who’s gone through before and knows what they’re doing, especially if they’ve never had a claim or had that experience before because it’s scary, you know.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:05:20] And we take that off a lot, so they can worry about getting their business back together again, and we handle all the back stuff, so we can put the claim together. We also do BI values, business interruption values. So, if you’re in the renewal process or you’re trying to get insurance, like, okay, how much insurance should I buy for my business? And we also evaluate, okay, you know, where are your exposures and things like that, and we look at that too.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:05:45] Yeah, that’s fantastic because I mean, I got to imagine as a business owner, that’s really hard to calculate, right?

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:05:50] Yeah.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:05:51] You know, how much should I be purchasing to cover all of my assets and making sure that if something were to happen, I can-

Lindsey Durosko: [00:05:56] Right.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:05:57] Because obviously some of those situations, they’re not planned. They’re, you know-

Lindsey Durosko: [00:06:01] Exactly.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:06:02] You have no idea, and you’ve got now an interruption, and how do you get yourself back on track faster?

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:06:07] Exactly.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:06:07] Yeah.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:06:08] Amazing.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:06:08] Yeah. And you can imagine with COVID, all of these business have been interrupted. The world was interrupted. So, that’s been a huge, you know, setback for so many different companies. And we’ve come in and helped a lot of policyholders in that area.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:06:21] And navigate the COVID stuff.

Lindsey Durosko: [00:06:23] Yeah.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:06:23] Because it’s very challenging times.

Jamie Gassmann: [00:06:24] Yeah, absolutely. Well, it’s been awesome chatting with both of you.

Chris von Eljaszewicz: [00:06:28] Thank you.
