CLAIM VALUATION
Sexual Abuse Claim Valuation

Accurate valuation is a critical component of proper claims handling and cost-effective resolution. Burnett Risk Control International utilizes

an extensive proprietary database of sexual abuse claims, settlements and verdicts.

​

Proper claim values support claim assessment, fair compensation and compassionate claim resolution. We achieve accurate values of 

sexual abuse claims to arrive at fair and just compensation.

​

We utilize the proprietary Burnett Database for our valuation calculations.

"Often, the best, most cost-effective and compassionate end to a sexual abuse claim includes fair and just monetary compensation. A fair settlement must reflect proper and accurate claim valuation."
