Asset Search for Insurance Settlements

Before accepting a policy-limits tender or deciding whether to pursue the individual or business personally, you need to know exactly what lies beyond the insurance tower. Carl Mason P.I. delivers rapid, nationwide insurance settlement asset searches that reveal the full scope of a defendant’s personal and corporate wealth so you can evaluate whether excess recovery is worth pursuing.

Our insurance claim investigations uncover bank and brokerage balances that can satisfy an excess judgment, home equity and vacation properties free of excessive encumbrances, investment and retirement accounts held individually or through trusts, ownership stakes in profitable businesses or commercial real estate, vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and other high-value personal property, cryptocurrency wallets and digital assets, pending inheritances or trust distributions, income streams from rentals, royalties, or side ventures, and assets concealed through spouses, relatives, LLCs, or offshore entities.

Our Insurance Settlement Asset Searches Help You Evaluate Recovery Options:

  • Determine whether recoverable assets exist beyond insurance policy limits

  • Evaluate excess exposure before accepting a policy-limits tender

  • Identify bank accounts, investments, real estate, and business interests

  • Uncover assets transferred to spouses, trusts, LLCs, or related parties

  • Negotiate insurance settlements using verified financial intelligence

Asset search reports delivered in court-admissible format with supporting exhibits, every Carl Mason P.I. report gives plaintiffs’ counsel, insurance carriers, and subrogation units the hard financial intelligence needed to press for full compensation, negotiate from verifiable strength, or confidently close the file knowing no recoverable assets were overlooked.

Fast, discreet, and exceptionally detailed — our insurance settlement asset searches routinely turn “policy limits only” cases into seven- and eight-figure recoveries. Know what the defendant can actually pay before you settle for what the carrier is willing to offer.
