 | The vessel damaged is insured and adjustment of the amount of repairs in
needed. Long Island Marine Surveyors performs damage surveys for
several insurance companies. We examine the cause of the damage, recommend
necessary repairs, oversee the repair process, estimate the dollar cost of
repairs, recommend certified marine repair facilities, recommend steps to
take for the prevention of future repairs. |
| We also perform surveys for the insured when the insurance company
is not forth coming with the total needed repairs. This may involve
litigation and court appearances but seldom does. We usually act as an
agent for the insured representing the insured's interest to the insurance
company. Most often a misunderstanding is the cause of disagreements. |
| Warrantee boats are sometimes the cause of a claim by the purchaser.
Rarely but unfortunately a recently purchased boat will not perform to
the manufactures standards. When boat dealers and boat manufactures
become subject to uphold warrantees misunderstandings sometimes result in
short changing the purchaser. A new boat loses a significant amount of
its value once it leaves the show room but a new boats warrantee should
not. We often represent the purchaser in cases where problems arise
with a boat still under warrantee. |
| Boat repair yards sometimes make poor or incorrect repairs to a customers
boat. Correction may involve a detailed analysis of the repairs made
including written bills, warrantees, guarantees, etc. |
| We are also consultants for boat builders, marine mechanics, marinas,
marine facilities that do boat repairs, insurance companies and underwriters
concerning the repairs of vessels. |
Our services for the above type of
work is set at an hourly rate. (See surveyor fees for current cost). Sometimes differences
can be resolved with a simple 15 min. telephone call and sometimes litigation
will draw on for months.
