Insurance Archaeology
The aim of Insurance Archaeology is to reconstruct, analyze and fully understand the client's insurance program over a period of many years.

     Insurance Archaeology was conceived by the late Randolph  Fields in 1981. His vision led to the development of a specialized area of insurance consulting which now assists clients in every industry segment in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.

     Insurance Archaeology is the reconstruction and analysis of historic insurance coverage. It offers the potential of rediscovering lost insurance coverage which may respond to recently asserted claims. These "long tail" or "latent injury" claims may ultimately threaten an entire enterprise.

This is an example of an historic liability insurance coverage analysis Chart completed for an R.M. Fields client.

The greatest contribution insurance archaeology makes to corporate well being lies in its ability to restore valuable financial assets to meet  liabilities arising from past activities.

There is little or no insurance available in today's market that will respond to these problems. However, primary and excess liability coverages bought many years past may respond to "long tail" claims asserted a long time after the events which gave rise to them. These policies cover most liabilities arising from environmental claims and frequently provide defense costs in addition to the limits of liability.

R.M. Fields International is the leading specialist in the field of Insurance Archaeology. We are at the forefront of research into historic insurance markets as we continue to identify new sources  of information and to develop new tools to facilitate our analysis. To date R.M. Fields International has recovered in excess of $100,000,000,000 of insurance coverage for its clients, a track record that remains unparalleled in our industry.
