Adjusters Exempt from Overtime? 5225 0
Started by host
Source: BakerHostetler
From a article posted 7/2/2014
' We have previously discussed how, over the past 10 years, courts have increasingly recognized that insurance claims adjusters are exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The recent cases of Estrada v. Maguire Ins. Agency, Inc., 12-cv-604 (E.D. Penn. Feb. 28, 2014) and Locke v. Am. Bankers Ins. Co. of Florida, 12-cv-1430 (E.D. Cal.

It was the now-infamous Northridge Earthquake, which led to my first work as part of State Farm's catastrophe team. Hardly seems like we could be at the twentiet...

What to do when the insured is deceased or divorced 8261 8
Started by Leland
I think death and divorce are common issues that rarely get covered in training. Adjusters learn what to do by trial and error, or if they are lucky, a knowledgeable supervisor tells them what to do.
Scenario 1.:
The adjuster is handling a claim for Mr. John Smith and speaking with a Mr. John Smith, who he presumes to be the insured. The adjuster gets a call from Sally Smith, who just returned from a deployment in Iraq. She says the house is hers, because she inherited it from her...

For some homeowners hit by Sandy 12600 25
Started by host
'Many homeowners who got slammed by Superstorm Sandy are finding that their flood insurance checks are nowhere near large enough to cover repairs.
Consumer advocates put some of the blame on errors by the multitude of adjusters who were hired in a hurry after the disaster.
They say policyholders are being shortchanged — sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars — because of some adjusters' overreliance on computer programs, rather than construction know-how, to estimate rebuilding ...

I know that there are many variables, and I don't want to use it as a template or anything. Just would like to see what a f...
