Norfield was started in March of 1969 in Lynn,
Massachusetts by two Liberty Mutual claims supervisors who believed that a quality
investigation would reduce settlement costs. This philosophy quickly earned them an ever
expanding client base.
Next came offices in Framingham, Springfield, and Braintree,
Massachusetts. Then came Fall River and Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Chelmsford handled New
Hampshire claims. The Fall River office lead to a Providence office and the Springfield
office lead to a Rocky Hill (Hartford ) Connecticut office. Today we have more than 45
people handling claims for more than 200 insurance companies all over New England.
At Norfield we handle third party
casualty claims. The most common third party claim is an automobile
accident. Our job is to gather facts through interviewing and scene
investigations and attempt to determine the degree of responsibility
for which our client’s insured is liable.
Simply put, our client’s insured gets
in an auto accident. We try to assess the percentage of fault that is
his or hers. We then determine the damages, from both property damage
and bodily injury and attempt to settle the claim. Norfield handles a
wide variety of claims including auto accidents, home owners liability
claims (the dog bites the mail man), workers compensation, errors and
omissions, and medical malpractice.
