Synopsis The Compact Book on Adjusting Liability Claims by : Barry Zalma

This Compact Book of Adjusting Liability Claims is designed to provide the new adjuster with a basic grounding in what is needed to become a competent and effective insurance adjuster. It is also available as a refresher for the experienced adjuster.The liability claims adjuster quickly learns that there is little difficulty with a claimant (the person alleging bodily injury or property damage against a person insured) if the claim is paid as demanded. The insured may be unhappy if the claimant's claim is paid as presented since most do not believe they did anything wrong or fear an increase in premiums charged for subsequent policies.The adjuster must be prepared to salve the insured's emotions, explain why in the law and the policy it was appropriate to pay the claimant and that the settlement is in the best interest of both the insured and the insurer the adjuster represents.The adjuster knows, and must be prepared to explain to an insured, that if a claim is resisted or denied the claimant will be unhappy, will probably file suit. If not promptly settled the claimant's lawyers will rake the insured over the coals to prove that the insured is liable for the claimant's injuries. The litigation will take time, effort, and money to establish the extent of the injuries and who is responsible for the injuries. Failure to settle promptly can cost the insured his or her reputation and will certainly cost the insurer much more than the claim could have been resolved for had it been resolved before the claimant retained a lawyer.

Synopsis Adjuster Stories by : Jonathan L. Scott

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.

Synopsis Understanding the Basics of Legal Liability Claims by : Shubham Gupta

Legal Precedence at the time when I was adjusting claims in India was not a common consideration. It took me almost six years to get to a stage where I could understand and appreciate the basic concepts underlying legal terms since immigrating to Canada in 2012. It has been a roller coaster ride for me, both scary and enthralling at the same time. Luckily, I had great company all through my journey. That's what inspired me to write this book. It is my attempt to provide a basic understanding of the legal concepts used in handling insurance claims, from an insurance adjuster's perspective. I have tried to tone down these concepts to simple terms, that could be easily followed by anyone not pertaining to the profession of law. I have discussed the day to day concepts, such as Final Release, Reservation of Rights Letter and similar other terms encountered by a claims professional while adjusting insurance claims....

Synopsis Proof of Loss by : Herman Meadows

In forty-two years of adjusting insurance claims I saw many people become anxious and uncertain when faced with filing an insurance claim. This book was written to help these people approach their meeting with the insurance adjuster with a calm, assured attitude. This book is written so the material will make the person(s) with a claim more knowledgeable of the claims process and vocabulary. Thus communication during claims process with the adjuster is more comfortable and the results more positive. This problem has been reduced in recent years. This is good reading for someone who may be thinking about becoming an adjuster. It will give them information that might give them enouragement to look into the subject further.
