15 Replies and 17294 Views Be a Better Adjuster; Take Better Photos 17294 15 Started by Jud G. I am primarily a field adjuster, but have worked a few stints inside to improve my field skills and see what other adjusters do to get files closed. Taking photos is one of those simple tasks that is very easy to do poorly and many examiners (sadly) have gotten to the point where they only review photos and don't even read reports anymore (there are numerous reasons for this, but a separate forum/topic should address those issues). The biggest issues are not with the failure to use the bu...

0 Replies and 2177 Views Gas Station Canopy 2177 0 Started by tishgold Does anyone have specific experience in writing the line items for an old gas station canopy A tractor-trailer operator thought he could cut the red light at the corner and drove through the gas station lot without clearing the canopy over a pump. Damage looks cosmetic only, not structural. Better yet, if you have an actual .esx file you can share that'd be quite helpful. I have photos available. Thanks.

This may help some of the newer guys out there when determining repair vs. replacement for a risk roof.

here is a topic that should generate some interest. In the course of my adjusting career I have many times ran into insureds claiming that their thermopane windows developed leaks from the named windstorm.

Every ca...
