In July 2024, a sleepaway camp in Illinois suffered a catastrophic loss when a lightning strike ignited a fire that nearly leveled one of its pioneer buildings. Only a charred fireplace stack and a few burnt beams remained standing by the time flames were extinguished. The camp immediately contacted Ayzertech at 9 AM. By 12 PM, our adjusters were on a flight and arrived onsite by 2:30 PM to begin assessing the damage and guiding the recovery process.
The insurance company’s initial offer of $478,191.42 fell far short of the true loss. Through expert negotiation, documentation, and valuation, Ayzertech secured a final building settlement of $634,339.40, plus an additional $40,457.97 in contents recovery.
A lightning strike ignited a pioneer building, leaving it nearly destroyed. The insurance carrier undervalued the structural damage and failed to account for significant contents losses. The camp needed immediate expert support to properly document the destruction and secure a fair settlement.
Ayzertech performed a full on-site inspection within hours of the loss, documenting structural damage, hidden destruction, and affected contents.
We provided detailed estimates, challenged incomplete carrier assessments, and negotiated aggressively on the client’s behalf. By leveraging our specialized background in contents valuation and building reconstruction, we secured a final recovery that exceeded the initial offer by more than 40%.
