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 the firm 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 in the claim to develop the appropriate course of action and provide for claim closure. 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 recognizes several important factors for an environmental claim to be successfully managed, responsible parties identified, impacts mitigated and claims dollars minimized. 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. Our technical expertise can bring about the resolution of an environmental claim resulting in claims dollar savings and reductions. D&B has extensive experience in surety consulting services. These services are an integral part of our business as a construction engineering design firm. Our offices are located in South Plainfield, NJ and Syracuse, White Plains and Long Island, NY to enable us to manage claims throughout New York and surrounding states.
