Insurance archaeologists find and reconstruct historic corporate liability insurance programs which can provide funds to defend and pay claims alleging injury, damage or offense from operations in the distant past.

 These claims, called “long-tail” or latent injury claims, pose serious threats to a company’s overall viability, its current and long-term financial vitality and its ability to set and achieve goals for the future.
