I Thought I Had Heard It All 14611 43
Started by Medulus
Greetings to everyone from Oaxaca, Mexico, where Jennifer and I are taking a break from our last assignment and staying far away from the demonstrations taking place across town.
I guess I'm reviving this thread from a similar thread now located in the archives. For those of you old enough to remember Laugh In, you may remember 'The Fickle Finger of Fate' award. When I was in seminary I used to read The Wittenburg Door, a sort of Mad magazine for theologians. They used to awar...

Insurance Coverage, requires lots of reading & discussion 2979 4
Started by Ray Hall
Many of the company trained adjusters, began a class in coverage during their first weeks of employment. The first policy was the family automobile coverage for casualty adjusters. I was fortunate enough to work for a large company with all the underwriters under one roof and the underwriters taught the coverage.
I loved contract law and insurance policys are the contract to the policyholder of what is covered, what is not covered, limitations on amounts of insurance, and extensions of insuranc...

Brokeres see adjusters as Key Players 3452 15
Started by cowboy26995
The following article is interesting in noting the role adjusters play in brokers retention of their client base. If adjusters are seen as key allies in maintaining the brokers book of business maybe the brokerage community could serve as allies in the adjusters struggle against some of the unfair practices instituted by some vendors and carriers. We all need to be happy campers to focus on delivering the level of service the insured is fully entitled to recieve. As we are the focal point in the...

Contents SF Calculator 2816 6
Started by liljon
I have an interesting case with&160;an excessive amount&160;&160;of contents that&160;were destroyed in an under&160;300 sf foot room. &160;Is there a SF calculator out there somewhere that shows a average value for contents. I was wondering if there was one used in Katrina for fast track NFIP settlements. I know contents and pricing is extremely diverse and there could not be a one fits all calc. Just looking to be able to add some common sense to the discussion. Thanks!!!

Citizens of Florida undercapitalized 8041 33
Started by cowboy26995
Very interesting article wherein critics of Citizens stipulate it is woefully undercapitalized to pay claims from a major storm. We all know where adjusters stand in the priority of payment list. What guarantees are vendors getting from Citizens for payment Do you want to take a chanceThere should be ironclad guarantees in place before deploying or else

No Gas?? I'll Pass 15815 71
Started by christian
As&160;we approach another season,&160;the cost of fuel leaps out as an expense that could be the difference in making a living&160;or just working under the law of diminishing returns.&160;Most of us have not worked a major storm since Katrina. Having to&160;commute long distances then was bad enough with $3 gas, Consider what&160;it will cost if a Cat hits the Gulf again. Where will we see fuel prices this time&160;$5 to $6 or higher&160;With diesel&160;running close to $5 where w...

Liability Claim Releases 2743 7

Many of us have worked are still work liability claims on a regular basis. This was a new experience for me. I have been working CGL claims for one carrier for about 2 years who have their own release. Most of the settlements are on questionable liability or almost 50/50 comparitive negligence and fall into the 'nuisance value' settlements with plaintiff attorneys.
'It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the parties hereto, their heirs, successors, attorneys and assigns, will keep c...

Steel Price Increases 2382 2

I have been informed from several&160; steel&160; clad providers that there will be an increase in steel as follows. 10 increase on June 14, an additional increase on July 16, and possible increases from that in about 4 months.
Seems China has not gotten enough of our money , so they are asking for more. This, of course will increase premiums on commercial policies and&160; possibly&160; HO policies. Seems to never end, however, I just heard Prez Bush say the economy is stabilizing, so we ...
