Working Allstate claims vs State Farm 16005 11
Started by hcrisp8
I have applied with Pilot, but they have told me I can go through their training for Allstate, even though all my cat experience has been for State Farm. (about 8 years total, 4 years cat) I know nothing about working claims for Allstate, and was just looking for some info on how they differ from State Farm. I have been using Xm8 since 1997, so I wonder if the switch for Allstate to Xm8 is part of the reason they want me for Allstate. Thanks in advance..

First day Covers 5988 31
Started by Leland
I was just working on a contents spreadsheet and was wondering if anyone ever ran across First Day Covers.
&160;
A lot of policies exclude 'stamps' but a First Day Cover is an envelope with a stamp on the first day it was issued. They are collected by Philatelists just like stamps but they aren't&160; technically&160; 'stamps'.
What do you folks think Should be excluded just like stamps Or paid for

Any other examples of similar things, where a slight difference in what someth...

specialty trades for repairing personal property 2291 3
Started by Leland
The LA Times has a series of articles on 'experts of repair and keepers of dying trades' such as silversmiths, rug repairers, furniture repair etc. The silversmith article discusses restoration of an antique creamer that was run over by a truck. It is surprising how many things can be fixed but I often have a hard time finding someone when I need it. Since I do more DP policies I am more likely to need restoration/salvage of antique items. http://www.latimes...

I see a lot of posts on here praising or complaining about the increased reliance on technology. Many people have serious concerns about services like Eagle View, Pictometry, Geo-Estimators, taking their jobs.Let me say I'm a new adjuster ( 2 years) and the only thing I've adjusted since my licensing, is my expectations. I am however very experienced in roofing, 32 years licensed in Minnesota and certified Florida.

Can someone please explain to me what 'shadow hits' are when calling hail damage I am an IA with 2 years experience, a newby to many, but feel that I know what a hail hit is compared to normal aging/wear & tear, blistering, etc. I inspected a house and found what I considered to be minimal damage (3 hits per SQ on right slopes, aging and normal granule loss on the front and back slopes, nothing on the left) and called for repair.

Allstate making the switch 9373 35
Started by iamscott
An Allstate staff friend of mine confirmed to me yesterday that she was being trained in Xactimate over the next couple of weeks and that Allstate is leaving MSB/integ for XM8. I wonder if this is going to be a gradual conversion to xm8, or if it will be a msb one day, the next day xm8 situation. However, I can't imagine it's gonna be an easy switch for this giant company. I also imagine there may be additional work opportunities with them if a lot of these guys can't 'get it'. I thi...

Do you think you can settle this loss ? 2102 1
Started by Ray Hall
The insured had a roof claim in 2008 Ike, and a grease fire in 2009. The policy is a HO-3 You worked both losses and used xmate. Both were full assignments. The carrier notified you to work the total loss from tornado, but do not travel to the site only thing left is a slab. Inured on a rocket to the space station and will not be back for 20 days. Yes I know I could would be my answer.

If a pig eats your car, will your insurance cover the damage? 3032 12
Started by catman
From an article on timestrscript.com;
&160;
If a pig eats your car, will your insurance cover the damage
The answer, according to the folks at Allstate, is yes, but only if you tell the whole truth about the claim however bizarre it may be.
As April Fool's Day draws near, Allstate Insurance gathered together some strange tales of insurance claims to show what a strange world it can be, but also to demonstrate that people can suffer from damages or losses from truly unexpected circumstances...

Crawford & Co had a discussion about the situation in Chile and some of the pitfalls of adjusting losses there.
'Chile&160; has onerous regulations, Reeves said, such as requiring that an adjuster must be appointed(assigned) within three days of an insurer being notified of a loss. That's tough in areas near the epicenter where no cell phones or landlines were available ...
