Doug Malawsky is the Chief Operating Officer of HMI (www.hmiadvantage.com). HMI is the only national provider of emergency tree removal services; standardized health inspections and average replacement cost analysis of trees for insurance, accounting and legal purposes.
It is estimated that last year the insurance industry paid approximately $4.5 billion in claims related to damage caused by fallen trees and tree limbs. Weather patterns, tree preservation trends, new construction and other factors are increasing this financial exposure.
