Contents claims can be a tricky thing, especially if you’re dealing with unique, unusual or hard-to-value items. EnservioSelect specializes in just that – helping to keep claims accurate and timely, even when you come across challenging items. EnservioSelect President Tom Kirkpatrick’s most recent “Case of” column in Claims Magazine gives a peak into how we handle such claims.

In this month’s contents case, an adjuster finds himself in the difficult position of having to assess the value of a stolen item: an animal tranquilizer gun that the insured claimed was a collectible manufactured in the late 1950s with an estimated value between $4,500-$5,000.
