How Texas Public Adjusters Can Win Appraisals and Obtain Full Recovery from TWIA and other Texas Insurers: Chip Merlin Hosts a Public Adjuster Seminar on the Eve of Hurricane Ike
Merlin Law Group will host a seminar in Houston, Texas, for public insurance adjusters close to the anniversary of Hurricane Ike. I promise that this will be dedicated to a "lay of the land" regarding tips and strategies for public insurance adjusters to service policyholders with quicker and fuller resolutions. Appraisal and the processes and techniques to obtain a better recovery will be taught and a special analysis regarding TWIA practices will be provided.
We are currently surveying past public adjuster attendees for specific questions before this seminar so that the question and answers will be thoroughly analyzed. The primary purpose is to provide my experience and that of my firm, which has primarily done this line of legal work for 25 years, to those who are similarly licensed and dedicated to helping policyholders.
The tactics and strategies of each case and each type of loss change as the circumstances dictate. There have been some legal changes to appraisal in Texas as well as other developments which impact the "best practice" a public adjuster uses in the field when dealing with insurance companies. We will share with you what is working and what is not working.
So, if you are licensed Texas public insurance adjuster, please plan on attending, learn how you can make more money by doing your policyholder a better job, and you will also get some free continuing education credits from the Texas Department of Insurance. Please go to www.adjusterlife.com to register.
I am looking forward to seeing you at our seminar on September 11, 2009.
Chip,
Have you ever contemplated putting on a seminar for independent and staff adjusters and explaining to them your perspective on what the policyholder expects?
I think a dialogue between plaintiff attorneys and field adjusters would go a long way to a better understanding of the roles each party plays in providing equitable claims solutions to policyholders. I'm sure everyone could learn something.
I for one would make sure to attend.
You may be an audience of one.
Others may have bags over their head so their bosses do not recognize them in the audience.
Let's face it, the insurance company managers may love what I write about "good faith," but they do not want me digging into how they go about managing claims and grading the performance of their field adjusters.
Chip: Do you really believe that (some) insurance company managers "love" what you write about good faith?
Anyway, to Insurance Veteran, if you search through Chip's website, you'll uncover a slew of papers he's authored and presented to various audiences over the past two decades.
I mention this because you asked Chip to explain (or put on a seminar) outlining what his perspective is on what the policyholder expects. I believe you could find alot of answers to your questions in his papers.
