Cannabis may divide opinions, but the complexity of the claims is clear. 🌿

When a cannabis business experiences a loss, there are often multiple areas that need to be evaluated, including:

▪️ Inventory
▪️ Specialized equipment
▪️ Security measures
▪️ Business interruption
▪️ Liability exposures

Every operation is different. That's why SGD works with clients on claims involving specialized risks, including cannabis-related businesses, where thorough documentation, clear communication, and careful review are essential when unique operations or industry-specific concerns are involved.

With fall just around the corner, stronger winds and storm-related losses won't be far behind.

After a storm, the visible damage is often only part of the picture. A timely response, along with confidence that the claim is being managed properly, can make all the difference.

High winds can leave behind:

⚡ Roof damage
⚡ Water intrusion
⚡ Damaged exterior structures
⚡ Fallen trees and debris impact

Early stages of a claim can be overwhelming. SGD helps bring structure to that process.

Our team reviews the details, documents the damage, communicates with everyone involved, and helps move the claim forward with the responsiveness clients need after a weather event.

Sometimes the most important question in a claim is: Who else may be responsible?

That answer is not always obvious at first. A property loss may involve a contractor. An auto accident may involve another driver. A workers' compensation matter may involve a third party. A product failure may point to a manufacturer, vendor, or installer.

When third-party responsibility may exist, SGD's Subrogation Team works to identify potential recovery opportunities before they are lost. Through careful fact review, documentation, and coordination with the appropriate parties, the team helps keep the recovery process on track.

A strong subrogation strategy can help maximize recovery opportunities long after the initial loss is reported.

Have a file with subrogation potential? Our team is ready to review it. 👉 https://loom.ly/uUGggWI

One missing document can slow down an entire cargo claim. ❌

Gathering the right information early can make a real difference in how smoothly the claim moves forward.

A few key reminders:

✔️ Report the loss promptly
✔️ Save bills of lading, invoices, and delivery records
✔️ Take photos of damaged goods and packaging
✔️ Keep communication records with drivers, carriers, and receivers

SGD handles cargo claims with the experience and attention to detail needed to get an accurate adjustment.

Wildfire and earthquake claims require experience, attention to detail, and a clear understanding of how damage can affect a property.

Our team handles complex property claims involving wildfires and earthquakes. These losses require careful investigation, clear documentation, and adjusters who know how to identify damage that isn't immediately visible.

To support that work, our team regularly undergoes earthquake damage training to help our adjusters evaluate structural concerns, property conditions, and claim details with confidence.
