BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Water leak claims

Claims administrator Crawford & Co. on Monday said it has launched smart water-sensor technology to help reduce water damage claims.

Atlanta-based Crawford’s escape-of-water claims management product provides round-the-clock monitoring and detects leaks via sensors placed throughout a property, the company said in a statement.

If water is detected, the wireless sensors alert Crawford’s operations center, which notifies the property owner of the event within minutes, dispatching a water mitigation company to the site if needed, the statement said.

Crawford’s 24-hour call center takes first notice of loss claims by phone to begin to mitigate the water damage claim, the company said.

“Escape of water has been a growing concern to insurance carriers and risk managers for several years and is one of the largest causes of non-catastrophe losses,” the company said in the statement.
