Our firm was founded by Benjamin Horton in 1940. At that time it was known as Horton Adjustment Company, and from its one office beginning, we have now grown to servicing the State of Kentucky and Southern Indiana from eight locations. We continue to expand after 64 years of continuous operation.
Benjamin Horton, after an active career in the insurance field, died in January 1972. James A. McIntyre, now Chairman of the Board of the company, joined Horton Adjustment Company as a claims supervisor in 1962 and in 1963 became President, at which time the company changed its name to McIntyre and Horton, Inc.
Michael P. Gilligan, current President of the company, joined the firm in 1991 after earning his CPA designation, adding the youth and exuberance for the further expansion of the company. Maryhill McIntyre Mundt joined the firm in 1993 and serves as Vice President. In 1996 the firm was renamed McIntyre, Gilligan and Mundt, Inc.
McIntyre, Gilligan and Mundt, Inc. is a full service insurance adjusting firm offering multi-line claim services to the insurance industry. We offer a full range of services from full adjustments to auto appraisals. We pride ourselves on tailoring our service to meet the individual needs of our clients. In addition to servicing insurance companies, we also handle claims for the self-insured industry. We are the Third Party Administrators (TPA) for the automobile liability account for the Jefferson County Public School System and for some other smaller counties in Kentucky. We are also the TPA for Kentucky Cooperage's workers' compensation program and the Louisville Area Governmental Insurance Trust. Since July 2001 we have been handling field assignments for Underwriters Safety and Claims on the Kentucky Association of Counties account.
One of our proudest achievements is the the over 22,000 claims we handled for International Surplus Lines (part of the Crum and Forster Group) when there was an urban sewer explosion in Louisville, Kentucky, probably the largest single claim that has occurred in the State of Kentucky. To handle this loss, a separate claims office was set up for nine months.
Our staff is comprised of highly qualified personnel with many years of experience handling complex casualty, property and workers' comp losses. In addition to adjusting services, we offer a full range of appraisal services to include automobiles, trucks, boats and heavy equipment. One of our main strengths is in the area of large commercial losses. In the past five years, we have been the lead adjuster on a $10 million loss, a $7 million loss and several losses over $1 million.
Our adjusters handle claims using state of the art technology available to the insurance industry. The automobile appraisals are prepared using the CCC Estimating System and the truck and heavy equipment appraisals are prepared using Mitchell TruckEst. Commercial and residential property appraisals are prepared using the Powerclaim XML Estimating System. Loss runs and special reports are generated using the File Handler System designed by J.W. Software.
Our normal service territory includes the State of Kentucky and Southern Indiana. However, if your needs require, we will travel outside our normal territory to handle your losses. Our company goal is to provide quality service to our clients and exceed their expectations.
We provide quick response, professional claims handling, and timely reporting. We serve you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from eight convenient locations.
