Strategic Claims Consulting · Est. 2023
Ascend. Optimize. Prevail.
Strategic claims consulting that helps claimant attorneys settle for more. Crest Claims Co. partners with claimant firms to evaluate, document, and maximize the settlement value of every case we touch.
About the Firm
Crest Claims is a premium claims consulting firm built to maximize settlement outcomes for claimant attorneys. We bring the carrier-side playbook to your side of the table — applying our proprietary claim scoring methodology, deep damages evaluation, and rigorous documentation review to ensure every claim settles for what it's truly worth.
Founded in 2023, we partner with claimant attorneys who refuse to leave money on the table — and who want a seasoned claims expert in their corner from intake through settlement.
Our Services
Six core services designed to help claimant attorneys settle for more — backed by carrier-side expertise and our proprietary claim scoring methodology.
A full deep-dive on every claim file using our proprietary scoring methodology — quantifying liability, damages, leverage, and settlement value with the same rigor carriers use against you.
Persuasive, fully-supported demand packages that pressure carriers to pay top dollar. Liability narrative, damages itemization, key arguments, and a defensible demand range — ready for your signature.
Comprehensive review of medical records, bills, and provider notes — flagging causation issues, identifying undocumented damages, and building a clean evidentiary record that survives carrier scrutiny.
Independent vehicle damage assessments that document loss severity, biomechanics, and repair scope — countering carrier lowball estimates and reinforcing causation between impact and injury.
On-site property damage evaluations — documenting scope of loss, scope of repair, and supplemental damages the carrier would rather you miss. Photo documentation and written reports ready for your demand.
Behind-the-scenes coaching from demand to resolution — countering carrier tactics, calibrating responses, and timing every move so your settlements consistently land at top of range.
Leadership
Founder & CEO
Byron brings 6+ years of senior claims expertise to Crest Claims Company LLC, forged at industry leaders Progressive Insurance and GEICO. That carrier-side foundation — built on evaluating, reserving, and resolving thousands of complex claims — is now the competitive edge he delivers to claimant attorneys looking to settle every case for what it's truly worth.
Byron's philosophy is rooted in family values — dedicated to his young daughter, he brings that same discipline, commitment, and integrity to every client engagement. He believes maximizing a settlement isn't just about the numbers; it's about doing right by the people whose recovery depends on it.
As CEO, Byron leads Crest Claims Co. with a singular mission: to give claimant attorneys the same caliber of claims expertise the carriers have always had — and to help them settle for more.
Our Team
A multidisciplinary team bringing decades of combined expertise in claims handling, auto collision and property damage assessment, and clinical injury evaluation — all working together to maximize the settlement value of every case.
The Crest Claims team — Katemarie Brasington, RN, Marian "Chrisie" Brasington, and Byron Brasington, Founder & CEO.
Vehicle & Property Damage Specialist
Marian — known to friends and clients as Chrisie — brings over 25 years of hands-on experience in auto collision repair, estimate writing, and insurance negotiation to Crest Claims. Her career spans roles as a managed repair specialist, head painter, and contract consultant for collision centers, RV repair shops, and tow fleets across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Born in Louisiana and educated at Albany Technical College in Georgia (where she graduated with honors and a 4.0 GPA in Auto Collision Repair), Chrisie now resides in Florida. She is I-CAR certified and has deep working knowledge of CCC and Mitchell estimating systems — the same platforms carriers use to write the estimates her work now scrutinizes.
Medical Records & Injury Review Specialist
Katemarie is a dedicated Registered Nurse with over 6 years of clinical experience and a strong reputation for excellence in high-acuity environments. Her specialized expertise in trauma care, radiology, and soft tissue injury management makes her a powerful asset when it comes to evaluating the medical evidence behind every claim.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Central Florida, graduating with honors. Katemarie began her career as a Trauma Nurse in a busy Level II Emergency Department before advancing into radiology and orthopedic specialty care — working closely with radiologists, surgeons, and physical therapists to manage complex soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal trauma, and post-procedural recovery. She maintains active certifications in ACLS, PALS, and TNCC.
