Haas & Associates (doing business as I-ENG-A® of Northern Indiana) is part of a nationwide network of independent forensic engineering firms who provide services to investigate, document, test and secure property/evidence and adhere to accurate reporting for the property and casualty insurance industry.  I-ENG-A’s standardized reporting methodology, database of information and networking ability assists with comprehensive, cost-effective and fastidious claims settlement.

I-ENG-A® of Northern Indiana is well versed in the intricacies that are part of the insurance, loss and mitigation investigations. Our goal is to provide the most efficient method of collecting and evaluating relevant information and providing our clients with concise and timely reports. We understand the value of time and comprehensive assessment in these matters and our process reflects these considerations. Initial communications with our technical team will consist of a brief dialogue to determine;

• Type of Loss

• Date of Loss

• Location of Incident

• Name and Address of Insured

• Name and Address of Claimant (if different)

• Policy and Claim Numbers

• Contact Information for Adjuster’s Designee

• Estimated Value of the Claim

Based on the preceding information, our personnel will quickly collect available records, documents and any other pertinent information. If the Adjuster is unable to provide such supporting documentation, our technical staff may employ alternate methods for obtaining data relevant to the claim. If warranted, involved parties may be contacted to arrange the forensic investigation at the location of the incident. Upon completion of our investigation, the Adjuster will be contacted to discuss initial findings and will be kept apprised of the status throughout the completion of our investigation. A written report containing all findings and conclusions will be finalized and provided. Our technical staff encourages open communication with our clients to ensure that all questions are answered and all needs are met.

If required, our personnel will assist clients with preparation of interrogatories to be answered during Statements of Oath and/or during depositions. If necessary, we will also provide involved personnel for their expert testimony as to the conclusions of our report.
