Mike Farrell, a 30-year veteran of the casualty claims business, founded the company in 1995. Under Farrell’s leadership, his eponymous firm established a regional reputation for excellence and strong relationships with area public entities and corporations.
As part of the transaction, he and his colleagues will join the Vericlaim organization.

"Investing in the continued growth of our Vericlaim family of companies enables us to apply our caring countsSM philosophy to the property loss space.
"With expanded capabilities and more resources on the ground nationwide, we are better positioned than ever to be where our customers need us when they need us most."
