Why You Need ClaimShieldTX™

Litigation is the cost of doing business—or so they say. But everyone knows for sure that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Anticipating and promptly addressing complaints, claims and lawsuits before they arise—especially in our increasingly litigious society—can dramatically reduce unanticipated business expenses. ClaimShield™ was developed for just that purpose.

ClaimShieldTX™ is a claim identification and management strategy developed from more than 35 years of combined litigation and home inspection expertise of a seasoned Texas lawyer and a Professional Texas Home Inspector. ClaimShieldTX™ offers a carefully designed system of technical and legal expertise for Texas Home Inspectors to eliminate and minimize claims, as well as unforeseen business expenses.

ClaimShieldTX™ offers the following services for Texas Home Inspectors depending on the Membership level:

  • Claim response letters to homeowners.
  • Claim response forms to use to respond to TREC complaints.
  • Claim response letters to lawyers.
  • Inspection agreement reviews.

  • Corporate formation documents for Texas limited liability companies.
  • Inspection report form reviews.
  • Customized inspection report forms with Rapid Remarks (CR) T.
  • Demand letters for non-payment of inspection fees and/or third-party claims.

ClaimShieldTX™ will also act as a liaison between the HI and their insurance carrier and will direct communications between the HI and their insurance carrier in the event a lawsuit is filed. ClaimShieldTX™ will stay involved in any litigation to make sure that the “insurance-company-hired-lawyer” has and keeps the HI’s best interests in mind.

ClaimShieldTX™ also offers “best practice” advice, communication tips and helpful do’s and don’ts; performs risk management assessments; provides access to continuing education; and provides convenient links to industry resources.
