Why Meridian
Why carriers assign to Meridian
Reports that survive review
Every file is built around photo documentation, a written condition narrative, and supporting data. The report should remain readable and defensible long after the inspection.
Communication you can plan around
Scheduling and report timing are confirmed when the assignment is accepted. Access problems and facility delays are communicated instead of being discovered at the deadline.
One vendor, broad territory
Core coverage includes the Seattle, Tacoma, and Everett metro. Extended assignments may be accepted north to Bellingham, west to the islands and peninsula, south to Chehalis, and east along I-90 to Moses Lake.
Independent by design
Meridian was founded to provide independent claims handling and damage appraisal. Objective documentation is the basis of every assignment.
Who assigns to us
Regional and national carriers, third-party administrators, managing general agents, self-insured fleets, municipal risk programs, and independent adjusting firms that need overflow or out-of-territory coverage in western Washington.
IA firms can send files that fall outside their regular Puget Sound coverage. Assignment numbers, reporting instructions, and delivery requirements can be included with the file.
