About Us
Claims Service Corporation of America was founded in 1989 in Richmond, Virginia as a privately held employee-owned firm as a multi-line independent adjusting and claims management company. We expanded into the third party claims administration business as well as setting up a separate business unit whose staff would only handle and focus on subrogation/recovery assignments.
Today we remain privately held but have diversified and continue to add new products and services to meet the needs of our customer base. We are recognized as a proven leader in providing professional services to insurance companies and entities throughout the United States and in the London market in its capacity both as an independent adjuster as well as a third-party claims administrator.
We also continue to expand and grow our diverse client base in the area of Subrogation/Recovery to meet the ever-growing need of our clients to improve their loss ratios and eliminate the need to hire the additional staff they may need to pursue subrogation whether it be through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation to achieve the maximum recoveries available to them.
