Tom, this afternoon I talked with two different sources in Appleton, Wisconsin who tell me that Eberl's is handling hail claims in the Appleton/Green Bay area for American Family Insurance. One of these sources is a long time adjuster with Eberl's. According to both sources, Eberl's has 60+/- adjusters in Appleton working the hailstorm damages and 40 of their adjusters have never worked a hail storm before now, this one being their first.
Two years ago, American Family was using NCA to handle the 1998 Appleton area hailstorm.
Wanna bet that 2 years from now American Family will be using another vendor?
Go figure! |

Jim, I believe that there are several factors involved. One is that a vendor may feel that with youth there is more endurance and the more roofs inspected a day the more income for all involved. Also one may feel that the amount of trouble you can get in on a hail claim is rather limited as compared to other losses, and will use more experienced adjusters in other roles. |

Paladin and Steve Florig, here is the serious question which you both seem to be asking and which we need to try and answer:
"Why are so many well experienced adjusters at home right now?"
How about some help and wisdom from some of you experienced adjusters on this one? |

A reader emailed this week, with the following question (he wished to remain anonymous):
Why are so many really good, experienced, and knowledgable adjusters still at home while so many newer and less experienced adjusters are out on storm assignments?
I thought it was an excellent question, and one which I am sure will generate much response, from "Old Timers" and "Newbees" alike.
Post and share your thoughts. |

KENTUCKY NON-RESIDENT ADJUSTER LICENSE INFORMATION
I received the following email from a reader and post it here as well as our CADO response.
____________________
Hi - I just visited CADO for the 1st time, and couldn't find what I was looking for. A friend suggested I email you for assistance.
I am licensed in Texas, but am working in the Midwest, and need to get a Kentucky license. Is there reciprocity? I have been told of adjusters that took their Texas license in with $45.00 and obtained a license. If so, who do I talk to, or where do I go to do this? I know there is a class and a test, as the company where I'm working is sending several of their inside staffers to training as we speak...
Any help or directions are GREATLY appreciated.

Essie, here is what I think you are looking for, and I hope it is what you need. If not please let me know, and I will do more research.
The Kentucky Department of Insurance is located in Frankfort, Kentucky and you can call their agent licensing service division at 1-800-595-6053 or email them at DOIAgentLicensingMail@mail.state.ky.us They also have a website at http://www.doi.state.ky.us/
The mailing address for the Kentucky Department of Insurance is P.O. Box 517, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602-0517.
You can download the adjuster licensing information for filling at the Kentucky adjuster's application at http://www.doi.state.ky.us/AgentLicense/documents/8301i.pdf
You can also download the Kentucky adjuster's license application at http://www.doi.state.ky.us/AgentLicense/documents/8301new.pdf You can then complete the application and mail it to Frankfort for processing thus saving a trip to the state capital.
From reading the Kentucky adjuster license requirements, you can obtain a temporary license as a non-resident for $20.00 or you can obtain a non-resident license for $50.00. Kentucky will waive the requirement for examinations for non-residents as long as you send them a certification from your home state Department of Insurance showing that you are licensed at home.
Please feel free to email me if you have additional questions or I can provide further information. |
