Crawford Responds to Winter Storms across Northeastern Seaboard
 Veteran Adjusters Available to Manage Damage Estimates from Unprecedented Severe Weather

ATLANTA (March 2, 2015) - Crawford & Company's Global Technical Services (GTS®) unit has mobilized its technical resources and deployed veteran adjusters to respond to the series of weather-related events resulting from winter storms Juno and Neptune. These events have heavily affected regions of the Eastern seaboard and created an influx of claims in areas of New England, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the Southeast. GTS is Crawford's global solution for large, complex claims.

Crawford's GTS® adjusters are handling assignments and completing damage assessments throughout the affected areas. Damages being reported include frozen and ruptured pipes resulting in water damages, roof collapses and other structural damage due to snow loading, business interruption, refrigerated products losses, fallen trees and limbs onto structures and vehicles as a result of ice accumulation and wind damages.

As these severe weather patterns are continuing, it is likely that the magnitude of the events that have occurred across the Eastern and Southeastern states has not yet been fully realized, and Crawford is ready to enlist more resources to assist as this storm activity progresses. Additional claims assistance is available throughout the rest of the U.S. and can be extended to the London Market as well.

"The adjusters we have in these regions are highly experienced, knowledgeable and prepared to act quickly in times such as these," said Rich Lafayette, senior vice president and chief technical officer, GTS. "We will manage the events out of our regional branch offices and will deploy additional adjusters to specific areas if necessary."
