Its commitment is to ensure maximum medical improvement for claimants while containing costs for insurers, relying on its worldwide presence, global network of partner providers, in-house specialists and negotiating strengths to do so.
Charles Taylor's new services extend to domestic U.S. and overseas claims, and dealing with insureds located in remote and hostile areas, of which it has extensive experience.
