Formed in 2016 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, CoventBridge’s Insurance Investigations division has grown into one of the most recognized names in the insurance investigations industry. The division serves more than 200 top-tier insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and self-insureds, with SIU specialists averaging 15 years of experience in investigations. Central to its operations is proprietary case management technology, developed and owned entirely in-house. Combined with CommandX (Command Investigations’ dedicated, non-billable quality unit) the new formation aims to combine enterprise-level scale with hands-on, boutique-level service.
Transaction Details
- The transaction creates the largest insurance investigations firm in the United States, bringing together two organizations that have each built what the industry has long needed but rarely found in one place: national scale, proprietary technology, and operational depth built to handle the full complexity of modern claims.
- The addition of CoventBridge Insurance Investigations to the Command Investigations network brings enhanced case management infrastructure and international investigator reach across the United Kingdom and select global markets.
- Doug Merriman will continue as CEO of CoventBridge’s remaining divisions. Seth Markham, President and CEO of Command Investigations, will lead CoventBridge Insurance Investigations.
