VIS, Video Inventory Services, was founded by insurance professionals who recognized that many clients could not fully or accurately document a loss in case of fire, theft, earthquake, or other disaster.

Although many theft and disaster victims had insurance, many, surprisingly, did not know the name of their carrier, and most did not know what their insurance covered. Furthermore, many had not reviewed the extent of their coverage in years — frequently for decades. Most, in addition, were woefully short of adequate coverage.

Yet they assumed that in the unlikely event of a loss everything would be fine. Unfortunately, many were wrong.

William Upson is the President and CEO of VIS. He brings to his position over 25 years of direct insurance experience. A noted guest speaker at industry and consumer gatherings, Upson has chronicled his knowledge and offered timely advice in a number of nationally-acclaimed books, including “Orderly Affairs” and Term Care: Alternatives and Solutions. These books are available for purchase from this website or by calling 1-800-765-0561, extension 147.

“VIS is a natural outgrowth of my experience,” he reveals. “It’s the norm — not the exception to the rule — that too many of us have a blind optimism that everything will turn out well in an insurance claim. But, too often, it doesn’t. We can’t be too prepared or have taken too many steps to ensure that we know what insurance we have and what it will cover. Equally important is what documentation insurance companies must have to settle claims. At VIS, we feel this service helps to fill an enormous gap and provides the answers and solutions to these very serious problems.”
