CLAIM VALUATION
Sexual Abuse Claim Valuation

Accurate valuation is a critical component of proper claims handling and cost-effective resolution. Burnett Risk Control International utilizes

an extensive proprietary database of sexual abuse claims, settlements and verdicts.

Proper claim values support claim assessment, fair compensation and compassionate claim resolution. We achieve accurate values of 

sexual abuse claims to arrive at fair and just compensation.

We utilize the proprietary Burnett Database for our valuation calculations.

"Often, the best, most cost-effective and compassionate end to a sexual abuse claim includes fair and just monetary compensation. A fair settlement must reflect proper and accurate claim valuation."
