When you file a property claim, Travelers can offer you dispatch services for water and fire mitigation, tree removal, and temporary repairs. We can also assist with finding short-term housing. This means you’ll have more of the resources you need to get back to normal even before an inspection takes place.

Losses may be the result of another party's actions or failure to act. In these cases, insureds may have the legal right to pursue recovery of incurred damages. Subrogation is the process by which we pursue the person or entity at fault for a loss.
Each National Recovery Center focuses on a line of business for effective pursuit against responsible parties. The subrogation team consists of over 300 professionals, as well as a designated team for complex and high value losses. This network is further supported by extensive enterprise resources: internal forensic engineers who provide consultation and analysis, a state-of-the-art lab for evidence testing and storage and in-house counsel for legal consultation. Our data and analytic capabilities also allow Travelers to maximize recovery efforts and understand industry trends for optimal results. We tailor our recovery strategies to provide superior subrogation service to you.
Our nationally accredited forensics laboratory is staffed with engineers, scientists and technicians whose varied backgrounds and experience enable them to bring focused expertise to any loss scenario. These experts analyze numerous products every year and can provide specialized insight into causation, product failure and accident analysis.
In addition to our laboratory staff, Travelers employs forensics engineers dedicated to general liability. Located in our Risk Control lab and throughout our regional offices, these engineers provide Claim professionals with valuable technical advice on cause and liabilities related to a claim. Our skilled staff, specialized resources and state-of-the-art laboratory reflect our commitment to helping you in the event of a claim.
