VIS — Video Inventory Services — was founded
by insurance professionals, who recognized
that many clients could not fully document a
loss in case of fire, theft, earthquake or
other disaster.
Yes, they had "insurance." But,
surprisingly, half did not know the name of
their insurance carrier, and most did not
know what their insurance covered. Further,
many had not reviewed the extent of their
coverage in years — frequently for decades.
And most were woefully short of adequate
coverage.
Yet they assumed that in the unlikely event
of a loss everything would be fine.
Unfortunately, many were wrong.
William Upson is the President and CEO of
VIS. He brings to his position over 25
years of direct insurance experience. A
noted guest speaker at industry and consumer
gatherings, Upson has chronicled his
knowledge and offered timely advice in a
number of nationally-acclaimed books,
including "Orderly Affairs" and "Long Term
Care: Alternatives and Solutions." These
books are available for purchase from this
website or by calling 1-800-765-0561,
extension 147.
"VIS is a natural outgrowth of my
experience," he reveals. "It's the norm —
not the exception to the rule — that too
many of us have a blind optimism that
everything will turn out well in an
insurance claim. But, too often, it doesn't.
We can't be too prepared or have taken too
many steps to ensure that we know what
insurance we have and what it will cover.
Equally important is what documentation
insurance companies must have to settle
claims. At VIS, we feel this service helps
to fill an enormous gap and provides the
answers and solutions to these very serious
problems."
The company is headquartered at 1333 North
