Introduction

The process for allocating responsibility in property and injury claim allegations is mostly “science,” but some critical parts include the “art” of applying professional judgment. The program outlines the mechanics of the process including:

1. Making a sensible, allocatable list of allegations and defects

2. Assigning values to each issue or category

3. Making a list of all the parties who might be involved and understanding what each of them did on the project and where

4. Assigning supportable portions of responsibility for each issue.

Allocation of Responsibility in Subrogation Claims is for everyone who needs to understand how the responsibility of property and injury claim allegations should be distributed to responsible parties. The program is for construction, insurance, legal and property professionals; particularly those who regularly deal with property and injury claims
