What's That Smell Imported Drywall Leaves Florida Homeowners Fuming (Chicago Tribune)
Chicago Tribune, April 6, 2009
That's the question du jour in some Southern locales, where homeowners are learning that the rotten-egg scent of sulfur in their houses isn't a figment of their imaginations.
Welcome to Toxic Torts, the 2009 edition. In it, tainted drywall appears to be vying to become the new 'black mold,' and drywall-related class-action lawsuits are sprouting like crocuses. The suits, in ge...

Coinsurance Calculation Trigger/Method 5241 13
Started by nixonjf
I know that many insured can negotiate removal of coinsurance penalties from their contracts, but their ability to do this is a function of their size and the market conditions (which can change rapidly and market shift is starting). I also know enforcing the coinsurance penalty is difficult for a variety of reasons.

Started by lizmcgee
Hi everyone, I'm new to the auto adjusting field. Adjusters are being deployed now to the recent hail storms. So if independent adjusting firms deploy their adjusters based on experience or how they are rated, is it possible for a new adjuster with only 1 month of experience who has not been rated to get deployed on the recent hail storms or only when there is a katrina like storm I was told only experienced adjusters are sent for non-major storms. So, if this is the case how will a new a...

Working here in southern Ontario ( Niagara Falls to Windsor) I have run accross something interesting. Roofers only use 1 strip of felt paper along the bottom of the slope.
