NEED A CAT PARTNER 9397 26
Started by RESTCON
I am REAL good at estimating. Can look at 10 claims by lunch using my system. Am willing to work two weeks and if you dont make more money than you ever have, my work is free except expenses. On hurricanes, I usually average $10,000 a week by myself. I am only interested in adjusters who get deployed often.Willing to prove myself. Restconaol.com

Red Flags / Uncooperative Insureds 5448 14
Started by greenmachine
Sandy was my first flood event, and what an event it has been!
I have an insured whose behavior has been questionable, to put it mildly. Sandy was his fourth loss that I am aware of.
The PA, who also worked the insured's Irene claim, sent me an extraordinarily over-inflated estimate that included a large amount of items
that were paid for after Irene, but not replaced. Of course, I excluded those items from my own estimate, even though they didn't volunteer ...

New site ripping content from CADO 4506 5
Started by AcceleratedAdjuster
Site is www.stormadjuster.com
I love free advertising, and since I have an ad here, it is there, along with every other ad on CADO, and that is all the site really consists of. That said, if someone created a site and used only info from my site, I would probably want someone to tell me so that I could decide how to handle it.
So, you have been advised.

How many miles per day do you drive? 6520 12
Started by John Velella
(I did some searches and didnt come back with the right info so I am just going to ask)
I am looking at my new vehicle for residential catastrophe adjusting (I am just starting out), and am trying to figure out how many miles on average I will be driving per day. I know that some jobs will be closer than others and some will be out in the county with long drives to each property, so just a general guess. I am doing some math out on gas mileage and what car makes the most sense for me to pur...

Search and Rescue Damage 4593 18
Started by Medulus
When handling a fire, it is my experience that insurance carriers generally consider damage done to a structure by the firefighters to be part of the fire loss. My question is similar, but much more complex. I would be especially interested in hearing from those who have encountered scenarios like the one I am about to describe while working on Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy. This is a hypothetical, though I have no doubt that there are many actual claims out there that would fit ...

Hello everyone!
I have recently gotten my all lines license and looking to get into the business. My parents drive the mobile offices and my brother has worked a few of the big storms, which is what got me interested in starting myself.
Being that I have no prior experience I was planning on applying for Allstate or State Farm as I meet all qualifications and like the idea of training, perks and certificates this avenue can bring, however, I have recently learned about RIDE ...

Adjusters copyrighting work 4292 10
Started by stormy56
Situation: Some adjusters believe that copyrighting their work will ensure payment from the vendor (adjusting firm).
Problem: Copyrighting your work discloses confidential claim information to the public. Yes, the author/adjuster can claim copyright protection if they are the one who physically creates the work. But in the copyright process, you are disclosing information that the Insured and Carrier likely does not want publically disclosed: private photographs of their house; comments ...

Why are Flood Claims so different 5209 12
Started by paulvon
Let me start by saying that I know you have a hard job and I understand that.
I am trying to understand why flood claims that have the same damage are treated so different.
A row of five town houses are hit by 8 feet of water by Sandy. The ceiling on the first floor is 8' 3' so it was missed. The lowest level is slab on grade, it is garage and entrance.
Two people who had the same flood coverage structure only are provided with documents showing damage of 6k at one place and 9k at...

NFIP as the underlying 10458 35
Started by HuskerCat
This question is for you that handle flood losses. I'm now in the boat of handling a couple of 'excess flood' coverage claims. Having never handled an NFIP loss, I'm not 100 on what may or not be covered. To explain further, this is a commercial loss. I've been able to find the personal lines flood coverage form, but not the commercial. And, as an indy inside examiner, you come here or there for the expert answers (um, C Deaton, maybe (see if he's still up, no it's not ...

Adjuster Rights.... 5130 8
Started by AdhusterForAll
Hello fellow adjusters,
I have been adjusting for over 25 years and have seen a increase in workload without any increase in compensation.
Not to mention the complete disregard for you as a person and adjuster.
Your safety is being completely disregarded and it's all about profit to the claims company and carriers you are working for.
I feel it is time to set some things straight in our industry and stop being taken advantage of by standing together.
If you have been in this business for ...

Sandy Discussion 29804 84
Started by Alex_Chernov
So, here we are Sandy is here. It is really funny how changing jobs from commission to salary changes the perception. When I was a salaried road warrior, I used to beam with joy while seeing those clowns on Weather Channel acting like it's the end of the world. Now, I am a salaried guy working for a large IA firm and I am frowning at the same TV clowns. And out of all possible places, I am a staff guy in New York. So, what is the real damages are going to be it is hard to say. ...
