Claim assessment and decision

The claim begins with its policy, loss date, reported date, amount and loss evidence. Assessment compares the reported loss with coverage and any cargo survey. The Authorized Underwriter records an independent decision linked to the claim, with an approved benefit or a reason for declining. A request for evidence keeps the assessment open until the reviewer can decide.
