Gas & Fees 3543 3
Started by gordon1
How is everyone handling the adjuster's fee schedule in regard to mileage & fees, particularly in light of ever increasing expenses with stagnant wages
Gas here (on Long Island) is about $3.40/gallon. Adjusting Companies are still charging 45-50 cents/mile, which was the rate when I 1st started in 1991. They are also still agreeing to give 50-100 miles for free. Is anyone turning down work because Mickie D's or the Big W pays more :)
Has anyone noticed that the hourly rate for a demo per...

Works of Art by Adjusters 3426 5
Started by host
I found this article about an adjuster who created "a series of painstakingly decorated underground tunnels and chambers that make up the so-called “Temple of Damanhur" in Northern Italy.”
The author states;
"The mastermind of this operation Not a long-dead civilization, but a 57-year-old former insurance adjuster who calls himself “Falco.” He claims to have experienced visions of past lives from an early age, and the temples represent ...

Who's left, adjusters and /or vendors 4165 13
Started by stormcrow
Would be interesting to know what of those adjusters that are registered here still consider themselves cat adjusters. (Roy, could CADO send of a blanket e-mail asking that question) I have notice that emails from vendors have slowing recently, wonder how many have survived, and if we don't get a few hits soon how many will survive

Time to Wake Up 7614 28
Started by Tom Toll
I don't generally get involved in political conversations, but right now is not the time to refrain from this subject. I am seeing less loyalty from the vendors and certainly no loyalty from the government to protect who we are and where we are going. We have blood clots in our employment arena also.
In my opinion, this political mess can only be cleaned up by fresh blood. We have too many blood clots running our country. The same o, same o, just keep running and we just continue to allow it. I...

Started by host
CADO has now been online for 12 years. We first went online in 1995 and based on this CNN article we were one of around 18,000 websites at that time and I believe the only website devoted to Cat Adjusting. The same CNN article also stated that there were around 100, 000,000 websites in October of 2006. When this site was first started it was called "The Disaster Page, A Catastrophe Adjuster's Home Page", we did not get the doma...

From Washington State 3586 6
Started by stormcrow
This was part of an article accessed from Cado's home page about a proposed new law in Washington.\
"It used to be that real claims adjusters would study your claim, evaluate its value and settle your claim fairly. The $44 billion insurance industry in America changed the way it handles many of its claims in favor of computer software programs that spit you in and spit you out with a lowball offer on your claim. The new way to do business is compounded by industry incentives to reward adju...

FLOOD PROGRAM TO ADD WIND COVERAGE 3382 6
Started by SteveZ
In a controversial move, the current Democratic head-mistress Nancy Pelosi and her crowd have introduced potentially career-killing legislation this week for our industry. The legislation involves the addition of limited WIND DAMAGE COVERAGE to the National Flood Insurance Program's already-screwed up flood policies.
The President stated that the already overworked, and overcharged NFIP is not the right system to handle WIND, and will likely veto the measure.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's 70's and 80's!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helme...

Dishonest Commercials 5259 18
Started by Medulus
Does this bother anyone else
I just watched the new State Farm commercial where a tree falls on the insured's car. He calls his Brand X insurance company and asks if he is covered. The adjuster tells him that damage from a falling tree is excluded, except for the Ficus. (Ray, this is not an opening for you to talk about Ficus Tree. That would be off-point.) Then we are told that he would not have had this problem with State Farm.
They have another com...
