By Horace on Friday, June 08, 2007 6:52 PMWell, "AA" can stand for different things or for the lack of different things.. Florida's insurance crisis revolves around the lack of Availability and Affordability in the insurance market. Availability and Affordability---that's also "AA". On January 16th, lawmakers, lobbyists, lawyers, agents, consumers and media will inundate Tallahassee, presenting and studying proposals and concepts to rectify the situation. As for now, the situation seems to be worsening. For instance, in the last month Citizens has announced their plans to jack up premiums 25% on vacation homes, second homes or otherwise non-homesteaded properties. In Florida with its 1,300-plus miles of built up coastline, that's a bunch of policies and premiums.

By Horace on Friday, June 08, 2007 6:52 PMSome of us reside in Florida. Many more of us have served time here with a stint or two following catastrophes that impacted the Sunshine State. In the aftermath of Andrew; the 'four in 2004', and then Wilma, oldtimers and rookie adjusters alike saturated the fourth largest state and served for weeks and months. By the end of 2005, state spokesmen proclaimed the industry was in a crisis mode. Citizens, the state created 'insurer of last resort'; (ILR), was out of breath (and money). Poe Financial, a group of carriers that had attempted to help depopulate Citizens, was on the rocks. Now, Citizens has in excess of 1.2 million policies, and the ILR is still growing. The newly elected Florida Legislature is having a special January session to deal with insurance matters. Very few of these lawmakers have any background or experience ... Read More »

By Roy Cupps on 6/8/2007 7:52 PMHave you ever seen an estimate tree in Xactimate where the roof section is listed as Roof1, Roof2, Roof3 and so on? Well in most cases this occurs when the estimate writer uses the "roof icon" or the f key to add the extensions to the main roof diagram in Sketch, when a better option would be to use the "Square Break" tool to add extensions to the roof.Read More » |
By Roy Cupps on 6/8/2007 7:52 PMNote: I moved this post and the comments from the feedback forum. It was posted to go with the current Poll at that time. I have since removed that forum. I recently attended a meeting in which a guest speaker spoke about Cat Adjusters as a commodity instead of a profession. Have we become a commodity? Here are the definitions from Wikipedia.org, http://en.wikipedia.org

By Roy Cupps on 6/8/2007 7:52 PMOver the years we have seen many efforts to form an association here on CADO. Well, I'm not sold on the need for an association, there are several reason for this and I plan to explain them in detail below. One reason is because in a way I see CADO as an association already, web based maybe but still an association and a voice for our community. Of course I realize this may seem bias because I'm the founder, owner and webmaster for CADO. But I hope in the end that you see this as more than a bias opinion. more to come...
