Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether as an insurance consultant or a witness on the stand in a civil trial, I rely to a great extent on my 27-year career in the property and casualty industry. More importantly, the variety of experiences encountered during those 27 years, in various positions and levels of responsibility, provided a unique perspective on the extent to which attorneys and claim representatives/adjusters effectively carry out their respective obligations to their clients and customers. Successful organizations are those that are characterized by an ongoing search for a better way to conduct the business in which they are engaged. A "better way" does not come about by chance. The failure to constantly assess the changing factors in the environment in which they conduct their business will surely lead to stagnation, minimal success rates and even worse - failure! Having served in a wide variety of capacities in the property and casualty claim arena, I've been in a position to observe the effect that rapidly changing factors have had in this business environment. It has been increasingly difficult for attorneys and adjusters to find that common ground necessary to bring about time-efficient and mutually agreeable resolutions of their cases. The adjuster you interacted and negotiated with five, ten or fifteen years ago is not the same adjuster you deal with today. Their training and the technical resources at their disposal today make them a more formidable adversary. On the other hand, insurance companies expect a great deal more from these individuals as a result of the investment the companies have made in these training and technical resources. The companies appear to be operating from a perspective that these new resources they have provided to their claim staffs should allow them to be more efficient, i.e. handle more cases more expeditiously. The reality is that despite these advances in the resources at the adjuster's disposal, they must still operate in a one-on-one adversarial, give and take setting in order to successfully resolve their cases. By way of first hand observations throughout my career and the feedback received from numerous attorneys in the plaintiffs' bar, it is becoming exceeding more difficult to interact and amicably resolve their cases with today's claim staff. What I hope to achieve in this writing is to give you a better insight into today's claims adjuster, to include the nature and extent of their training, the new technical resources available to them, how they are evaluated, how their cases are evaluated today, and a number of suggestions as to how to achieve a win-win resolution of your clients' cases. You will also be taken on an insider's tour of today's claim organization and structure and the unique world of insurance company financials. Today's difficult claim/legal environment came about as a result of the failure of both camps to understand and keep pace with the rapid rate of change that has occurred. Take this opportunity to analyze the inner workings of today's claim organization from a new perspective. Leverage some or all of these concepts to enhance your effectiveness. Ask yourself if there is indeed a "better way".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What insurance adjusters need to know about handling Texas insurance claims.

Mark Courtois applies his 25 year insurance defense background to give adjusters what they need to know to handle Texas insurance claims correctly. Topics covered in this Guide include: the Prompt Payment of Claims Act, bad faith, unfair settlement practices, subrogation, policy limits demands, and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Special worksheets are provided to assist adjusters in responding timely to the time deadlines of first party claims, the time deadlines of responding to an insurance code or deceptive trade practices demand, and a policy limits demands. No adjuster handling Texas claims should be without this Guide.

Download or read book Secrets Behind the Auto Injury Claim Game written by Michael Brandner and published by Word Association Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book includes multiple lists that provide helpful summaries on various aspects of an auto injury claim. The first identifies five tactics the insurance company uses to gain an advantage over a claimant including: making false promises, delaying your claim, and misrepresenting proper medical treatment and how it will be paid. A second useful list is the to-do list for documenting the scene of the crash, which includes what to photograph and what information to collect from witnesses. A third list covers the eight steps to handling a property damage claim. For someone only dealing with property damage, it is a guide for what to do. He even offers certain keys to determine when you need to hire a lawyer and how you should share information with the lawyer.The section on documenting an injury goes into what it takes to have a good case. A good case has three main parts: liability (the other person is at fault), causation (the link between liability and damages), and damages (property damage, physical injuries, loss of income, etc.). You can¿t have one without the other two. You can¿t have two without the other one. The most challenging parts are establishing causation and damages, and he includes recommendations for avoiding causation problems particularly with respect to reporting and documenting medical injuries. One unique piece of advice was his recommendation that the patient, when speaking with the doctor, avoid self-diagnosing (putting words in the doctor¿s mouth) and overloading the doctor with information extraneous to the pains and problems that stem directly from the car wreck. With a contemporary twist, the book also looks at the perils and pitfalls of our cultures¿ reliance on social media. He describes how information gleaned from Twitter and Facebook can seriously undermine a case¿especially when it falls into the hands of Mr. Insurance Defense Attorney.

Book excerpt: Insurance adjusters meet clients on the worst days of their lives, and they must be diplomatic, tactful, and ethical. The job is not only about returning phone calls and doing paperwork. Whether the case involves cargo damage, residential and business property damage, fire, fraud, burglary, or arson, its the job of the adjuster to get to the bottom of things. Author Jonathan L. Scott has spent more than thirty years as an adjuster. In a series of short stories, loosely based on actual insurance claims, he recalls navigating the human dimension of balancing a clients circumstances with policy requirements and the lawand its never easy. All adjusters investigate, evaluate, and settle claims, but the best ones are worth their weight in gold several times over. The bad ones, however, can cause huge problems for the public and their employers. If youve ever been curious about the work of an insurance adjuster, read on and find out how each claim becomes its own little adventure.

Book excerpt: Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer and part-time drug dealer Jason Feldman’s life goals are simple: date hot women, earn enough cash to score cocaine on a regular basis, and care for his dementia-ravaged father. That all changes when a long-lost childhood friend contacts him about the discovery of buried remains belonging to a high school classmate who went missing thirty years prior, and the fragile life Jason’s built over his troubled past is about to come crashing down. Soon, he’s on the run across Pittsburgh and beyond to find his old friend, while trying to figure out whom to trust among Ukrainian mobsters, vegan drug dealers, washed-up sports stars, an Israeli James Bond, and an ex-wife who happens to be the district attorney. The only way he’ll survive is if he overcomes his addictions so he can face his childhood demons.

Book excerpt: An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight it Over the last two decades, insurance has become less of a safety net and more of a spider's web: sticky and complicated, designed to ensnare as much as to aid. Insurance companies now often try to delay payment of justified claims, deny payment altogether, and defend these actions by forcing claimants to enter litigation. Jay M. Feinman, a legal scholar and insurance expert, explains how these trends developed, how the government ought to fix the system, and what the rest of us can do to protect ourselves. He shows that the denial of valid claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, Feinman explains how people can be more cautious when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. He also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses. This exposé will help drive the discussion of this increasingly hot- button issue.
