Damage Claims Negotiation Assistance
If you are already involved with a damage and the utility company has billed you for the repair costs; we can help you to lower the costs to your firm. If you have made the determination that your firm was the responsible party, but find the costs charged for the repair excessive, we can assist you by negotiating with the facility owner to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Our experience on both sides of these situations provides us with a unique perspective into the process of repair costing, and we can use this experience to find errors and overcharges that are likely to be included in your repair bill.
Utility companies often use the occasion of a damaged line to upgrade their facilities instead of simply repairing the existing system and then pass the upgrade cost along to you. Our experience from both sides of the negotiating table allows us to spot unfair overcharges that are difficult for many construction and excavation firms to identify. This type of experience and support could potentially save you thousands of dollars in repair costs. Can you afford to take the utility company's invoice at face value?
Additionally our years in the utility locating field has allowed us to build a network of contacts covering all aspects of the utility industry. We can and will utilize this contact base to assist you with your claim. Big or small we can assist you in obtaining a fair settlement with the utility owner regarding an at-fault damage claim.
