Even well-run properties can face devastating financial losses when documentation gaps turn routine incidents into costly claims.
The Claims Add Up
Across four slip-and-fall incidents, the property incurred more than $320,000 in direct claim costs.
The Real Impact: Premiums & Valuation
The bigger hit came when the property’s preferred insurance carrier declined to renew coverage.
The portfolio was forced into the brokerage channel. Premiums tripled, adding more than $340,000 in annual costs.
At a 6% cap rate, this recurring expense translated to a staggering $5.8 million loss in asset value.
The Root Cause
The problem wasn’t negligence, it was documentation.
Without clear, defensible proof of preventive measures, management had no way to demonstrate that risks were addressed.
Why This Matters
Property Managers: Routine claims can spiral into premium spikes that crush NOI.
Asset Managers & Investors: Insurance costs directly erode portfolio value.
Insurance Partners: Defensible prevention records are becoming a requirement for renewal.
A Smarter Approach
lexWurx helps operators avoid these outcomes by:
Predicting risks before they escalate into claims

Each property automatically develops a living record of inspections and preventive actions, creating instant proof that teams acted responsibly.Turning operations into defense files
All prevention steps roll into an insurance-ready file that protects NOI and stabilizes premiums — making documentation a strategic advantage.
Because in today’s environment, the difference between stability and a $5.8M loss isn’t negligence, it’s documentation.
