Who do you call when you have a damaged life-size bronze sculpture of a 19th century Sioux warrior? Contents-claims specialists, of course! A carrier dispatched specialists to do an on-site inspection of the Sioux warrior statue that was broken during a complicated (and unsuccessful) attempt at moving the artwork. The insured was claiming $100,000 to replace the sculpture.
The team was asked to provide its own analysis of the replacement cost for the statue and to formulate a salvage strategy. The carrier also wanted to know if it would be possible to restore the damaged sculpture.
