Pacesetter Claims 13169 4
Started by catadj2367
I am trying to find out about Pacesetter Claims. I am on their 'stand by list', but have not been called, which is somewhat surprising given my experience. I have not seen Pacesetter mentioned on this site, so I am just wondering if anyone has any information.
Does anyone have any experience with them&160;

I am new to this field.&160; I&160;have family that does it and so I got the certifications and classes needed to get going plus some.&160; I&160;find it almost ridiculous that every IA Firm out there requests that you have _____ years of experience.&160; I was just wondering how in the hell do you get actual adjusting experience if no one wants a newbie.&160; I know that when 3 hurricanes hit at the same time you will hire me...but until then I wait. &160;

The next 10 years of cat. adjusting 7066 7
Started by Ray Hall
&160;It seems one estimating program will dominate. This will keep the contractors price 'guides' in line as most controctors will do the work for qualified adjusters who can scope real damage. I think the downside will be the lawyers bringing up price fixing claims.
Roof inspections will not be as much danger as roof thumpers will not be needed. More call center adjustments on all type of claims. Travel to risk to settle will not be set in stone. Downward pressure on fee bill,s. More eyeballs...

Louisiana flooding 3789 1
Started by ChuckDeaton
Many of the affected homeowners do not even have federal flood insurance.
In Krotz Springs, just 51 of 560 homes there have that coverage, according to a review by the New Orleans Times-Picayune. In nearby Butte LaRose, 80 percent of the homes lack that insurance.
Some owners cite the expense, and others just don't expect to get flooded — either because they've raised their homes or have never seen flooding there.

Is there a future for New Orleans and what cost it's death 3746 2
Started by stormcrow
Read the recent aritcle on www.wunderground.com by Dr Masters on the Old Man River Control system. If the system fails and the Mississippi takes a new route to the gulf, what would the impact be.&160;Gas at $6.00 a gallon and&160;shortages off&160;most goods shipped into New Orleans.&160;&160;Would the city and Baton Rouge become ghost towns. The next couple fo weeks should answer this, but it would be a disaster beyond imagination and little or none of it would be covered by insurance.

There was a&160;part documentary, part drama&160;making the rounds in the film festivals&160;a while back about cat adjusters and people of New Orleans post Katrina.&160; The name was Low and Behold.&160; It just came out on video last year (although I don't think it's out on Netflix yet), but it is&160;available from their site www.lowandbeholdmovie.com.&160;

Greetings from North Alabama. I am located in Marshall County which is between Gadsden and Huntsville. I've been doing this since 85 and I can't believe the amount of and how wide spread the damage is. It looks like a cat 4 rolled through this place. Half the state got hit. Whole towns are missing. I finally got a generator at my house, cell coverage is spotty at best. My office is located near a hospital so I have internet and a phone. If your heading this way, bring a little gas, food and down...
