Dvirka and Bartilucci Consulting Engineers (D&B) provides technical expertise to the insurance industry for the management of environmental claims. In general, the engineering and hydrogeological services offered by D&B in this area include investigation, impact assessment, and remediation evaluation.

D&B’s environmental claims management services involve product release investigation, regulatory negotiation, impact delineation, and remedial evaluation. Project objectives and client interests are identified early on in the claim to develop the appropriate course of action and provide for claim closure.

D&B recognizes several important factors for an environmental claim to be managed successfully. These include the proper identification of responsible parties and a balanced approach to mitigating impacts and minimizing the value of the claim. These factors include timely and appropriate responsiveness to coverage-related incidences, aesthetic and logistical factors associated with residential claims, and experience with regulatory requirements and personnel. D&B’s technical expertise can bring about the resolution of an environmental claim resulting in claims dollar savings and reductions.

D&B also has extensive experience in surety consulting services. These services are an integral part of its business as a construction engineering design firm. A key component of D&B’s insurance services is subrogation support. Policy coverage is determined based on diligent investigation and scientific findings.

D&B’s offices are located in South Plainfield, New Jersey, Syracuse, White Plains, and Woodbury, New York enabling itself to manage claims throughout New York and surrounding states.
