Complex claims don’t stop at borders, and neither do the conversations around how they’re handled.

Peter Schifrin will be attending the 2026 International Institute of Loss Adjusters (IILA) Annual Conference in London, England, the week of October 19th.

This conference brings together loss adjusting professionals from around the world to discuss global claims issues, technical loss handling, and the relationships that support complex claims work across markets.

For SGD, the conference is an opportunity to exchange perspectives with professionals working across different markets and stay engaged with the international loss adjusting community.

If you’ll be in London for IILA, Peter would be glad to connect!

Smoke damage can be one of the most difficult parts of a wildfire loss to evaluate. California’s newly passed AB 1795, the Smoke Damage Recovery Act, aims to bring more clarity to the process.

The law establishes statewide standards for investigating and restoring smoke-damaged homes, including insurer-paid testing, claim timelines, restoration requirements, adjuster training, and protections around a policyholder’s choice of contractor.

For insurance and property professionals, the takeaway is important: smoke exposure is becoming a more formally defined part of the wildfire claims process.

Truck and heavy equipment losses often involve more than visible damage. Repair costs, downtime, rental needs, transport logistics, liability questions, and supporting documentation requirements can quickly add complexity to the claims process.

SGD handles claims involving trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment with the detail and responsiveness needed to keep the process moving. Our team provides timely inspections, thorough documentation, and clear communication, especially when a key piece of equipment is out of service.

When your client depends on that vehicle or equipment to keep business moving, experienced claims handling from the start matters.

Cannabis may divide opinions, but the complexity of the claims is clear. 🌿

When a cannabis business experiences a loss, there are often multiple areas that need to be evaluated, including:

▪️ Inventory
▪️ Specialized equipment
▪️ Security measures
▪️ Business interruption
▪️ Liability exposures

Every operation is different. That's why SGD works with clients on claims involving specialized risks, including cannabis-related businesses, where thorough documentation, clear communication, and careful review are essential when unique operations or industry-specific concerns are involved.

With fall just around the corner, stronger winds and storm-related losses won't be far behind.

After a storm, the visible damage is often only part of the picture. A timely response, along with confidence that the claim is being managed properly, can make all the difference.

High winds can leave behind:

⚡ Roof damage
⚡ Water intrusion
⚡ Damaged exterior structures
⚡ Fallen trees and debris impact

Early stages of a claim can be overwhelming. SGD helps bring structure to that process.

Our team reviews the details, documents the damage, communicates with everyone involved, and helps move the claim forward with the responsiveness clients need after a weather event.
