Commercial Insurance Fraud
Sequence Inc. examines and evaluates commercial insurance claims on behalf of claims examiners, public adjusters, and insurance company investigators. We have assisted with hundreds of insurance claims, recalculating insured losses and examining claims for evidence of fraud.

Specifically, we calculate loss of net income, continuing operating expenses, and extra expenses. We also examine the financial and operating data for claims that are under suspicion of fraud.

Our fraud experience related to commercial insurance claims includes the examination of claims for losses that did not occur, analysis of overstated claims, and the examination of financial motives for arson.

  • Analyze inventory levels to determine the accuracy of inventory levels reported prior to the loss
  • Examine claims to determine if evidence of fraud exists
