The need for street adjusters will be several dozen or so. I think that was the top out in Alaska. No need for estimating programs, or ladders.

who knows how it's going to play out :) as of right now there's no insurance companies involved in all of this :) this may change, or may not. Swimming in sea of uncertainty is definitely a must have skill for any storm trooper. Although, I hear some vendors are gearing up for some action.

ESIS is the major involved carrier

ESIS is a risk management company

I think it was, at one time, called Cigna/ESIS. For certain Worley has people working in Hammond, LA.

yeah, sitting waiting for claims could be called work.. :)

bp is self ensured that is a fact :) unless oil gets spread by a hurricane there will be no actual claims, and even if it does, whether typical HO will cover it is a big question :) word is Crawford is going to get some action :)

Part of an article I read this afternoon says,

BP will be on the hook to pay out three different types of claims: bodily injury or illness, property damage, or loss of income claims. The company has spent more than $40 million so far making payments on 15,000 of the nearly 32,000 claims filed by area business owners and their workers. And the claims list just keeps growing: 510 claims adjusters are staffing 22 centers across the four states.

My sister lives in Huntsville,AL and owns a condo in Gulf Shores,AL. She was interviewed by the local TV station concerning how fast she got her loss of income check from BP. So it begins.

I know some local salt water fishing guides, that will be taking their boats to LA. A flat $1200.00 per day from BP. Give BP a chance folks

The State of Alabama is sending workers to help people submit claims to BP. This monster is growing every day.

To get a better understanding on the Claim Process you can review the claim manual.

Did you click the link, it was just provided as a FYI to this thread, it's the BP Claims Process Manual

Please, please, please, buy BP products, BP needs the profit to clean up the mess in the Gulf of Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Figure this one out. Here in Alabama, our Gov. has set up his own BP claims offices in South Alabama. These offices are staffed by Alabama Emergency Management and Alabama National Guard troops. BP has agreed to accept and rule on these claims within 48 hours. I see some adjusters working 23 hour days or a mass of adjusters hitting the field. I'm sure the Gov's of the other Gulf States doing the same pretty soon. Our Gov's concern was "not enough people are turning in claims". The monster grows again. Check out www.al.com for more info.

Coast Guard just announced they are jumping into the claims process. Is the daily rate going to jump now that the HEAT has been turned up and Obama is going back to the coast for a overnight visit? What is going to happen when the first tropical storm rolls through the Gulf? We are living claims history and just don't know it yet!! And just think, the lawyers haven't got cranked up yet.

wow, Guard is going door to door, that is something... I guess, we'll see some claims...
