Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is an Adjuster?An "adjuster" or "insurance adjuster" is, by statutory definition, a person, co-partnership or corporation who undertakes to ascertain and report the actual loss to the subject-matter of insurance due to the hazard insured against. Insurance companies create, by issuing an insurance policy, a contractual obligation to pay valid claims from those insured. To do so insurers understand that the person insured is not able to prove the cause and extent of loss without assistance. Therefore, insurers dispatch a person with special knowledge - the adjuster - to separate fact from fiction, to establish cause and origin of the claimed loss, and determine sufficient information to enable the insurance company to determine the amounts necessary to indemnify the insured as the policy promised. The adjuster is also present to distinguish the valid claim from a claim for which the insurance company is not liable under its policy, whether due to the terms and conditions of the policy or because of attempted fraud. Some policies, like those issued under the National Flood Insurance Program Act (NFPA) specifically state that the claimant must use his own judgment in estimating the amount of loss and that the assistance of an insurance adjuster is a "courtesy only." The insured must still send a proof of loss within 60 days after the loss even if the adjuster does not furnish the form or help the insured complete it. Most insurance policies issued by commercial - non government supported - insurers accept substantial compliance with the policy conditions and require their adjusters to assist the insureds to fulfill the conditions.The insurance adjuster is seldom, if ever, mentioned in a policy of insurance. The strict wording of the first party property policy sets the obligation to investigate and prove a claim on the insured. In order to fulfill the covenant of good faith and fair dealing insurers created the insurance adjuster to fulfill its obligation to deal fairly and in good faith with the insured. The adjuster was created to assist the insured to comply with the material conditions of the policy, to thoroughly investigate the policy and the claim, and to protect the interest of the insurer and protect against claims that were not due to a peril insured against or were false and fraudulent.

Download or read book The Compact Book of Adjusting Property Claims Fourth Edition written by Barry Zalma Esq and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Primer for the First Party Property AdjusterThe insurance adjuster is seldom, if ever, mentioned in a policy of insurance. The strict wording of the first party property policy sets the obligation to investigate and prove a claim on the insured. Standard first party property insurance policies, based upon the more than a century old New York Standard Fire Insurance policy, contain conditions that require the insured to, within sixty days of the loss, submit a sworn proof of loss to prove to the insurer the facts and amount of loss. In general, failure to file the proof within the time limited by the policy is fatal to an action upon it (White v. Home Mutual Ins. Co., 128 Cal. 131, 60 P. 666 (1900); Beasley v. Pacific Indem. Co., 200 Cal.App.2d 207, 19 Cal.Rptr. 299 (Cal. App. 1962). The California Supreme Court in 1900, when it decided White v. Home Mutual concluded that the requirement of proof of loss by the insured within the 60-day limit provided by the standard form of policy is a condition precedent to the right of the insured to maintain suit.

Download or read book The Art of Adjusting written by Chantal Roberts and published by Tilting at Windmills Press. This book was released on 2021-07 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every profession has its unwritten rules which practitioners learn through on-the-job training. Being a claims adjuster is no different, except that insurers expect the claims department to shoulder more and more duties with less personnel-- leaving little time for training from seasoned adjusters. This is exacerbated by the "brain drain" of the Baby Boomers leaving and no clear educational process for adjusters. The Art of Adjusting: Writing Down the Unwritten Rules of Claims Handling will help the adjuster: Write better reservation of rights letters Handle irate insureds and claimants in a more professional manner Understand how to read an estimate and medical records. Chantal M. Roberts, CPCU, AIC, RPA, is a claims handling, standards, practices, and procedures expert witness with 20-plus years' experience as a multi-lined claims adjuster. In her first book, she attempts to bridge the gap between being a new adjuster and a seasoned hand by offering some of the lessons she learned so that adjusters can get back to doing what they are meant to do: settle claims quickly, proficiently, and economically.

This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Florida, the legal authorities governing and relating to property insurance, associated claims, and insurance adjusting are scattered in various bodies of law (beyond the “Florida Insurance Code”). Unfortunately, they are not always easy to locate, or logically categorized or ordered. This book contains a comprehensive compilation of these statutes, rules, and other legal authorities. To compile the materials in this publication, an exhaustive review was undertaken of the Florida Statutes, Florida Administrative Code, and other bodies of law. Once compiled, the authorities were then re-categorized and re-ordered in an effort to make them easier to search. In addition, this book includes a helpful list of over one hundred (100) important deadlines and timing issues, as well as a list of other selected statutes, an extensive list of state and federal cases (arranged by topic), and a list of resources relevant to property insurance and public adjusting. Public adjusters should find this book helpful to their adjustment and handling of claims, and in dealing with insurance representatives. It should also assist public adjusters in becoming more familiar with the relevant legal authorities, and the legislative process, which has become more important in recent years with the passage of restrictive regulations for public adjusters.

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, it's 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 client's circumstances with policy requirements and the law-and it's 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 you've ever been curious about the work of an insurance adjuster, read on and find out how each claim becomes its own little adventure.
