What insurance adjusters need to know about handling Texas insurance claims. Texas has very specific laws regarding how insurance carriers should be handling claims. Failure to follow these requirements may lead the insurance carrier into owing penalties in addition to the original value of the claim. 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.

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.

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.

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.

It is very likely that everyone in Texas has either had an on the job injury, or has a close family member or friend who has. Unlike many types of injuries, there are not a lot of resources to learn how to navigate a workers' compensation claim. Texas is the only state that allows employers to decide if they want to subscribe to the workers' compensation system or become what is generally referred to as a non-subscriber. These two types of claims are handled very differently. Therefore, the first thing to confirm after a work injury is if your employer is a subscriber or a non-subscriber to the system. We have written this guide to assist injured workers in handling a workers compensation claim. We explain the types of benefits and hearings that can arise as a result of an injury at work. Abraham Lincoln is credited as saying, "He who represents himself has a fool for a client." We would never advise a person to represent them self. But everyone needs to understand what is happening in their claim, and this guide provides the terminology and information you will need to navigate the process.

Adjusting liability insurance claims requires skill, patience, knowledge of insurance, basic knowledge of tort and contract law, and knowledge and experience as an investigator. The liability claims adjuster is faced with the following basic obligations:1.To understand the law of torts as applied in the state where the adjuster works.2.To understand the law of contracts as applied in the state where the adjuster works.3.To understand sufficient medical terminology to be able to evaluate claims of injury.4.To understand the costs to repair or replace damaged real or personal property.5.To understand how to read and apply the terms and conditions of a liability insurance policy.6.To understand how to thoroughly investigate all claims assigned.7.To conduct an investigation of every claim assigned fairly and in good faith with an intent to find coverage for the loss presented by the insured.8.To understand how to analyze the insurance coverage and apply the facts established by the adjuster's thorough investigation to the policy wording.9.To be able to negotiate with claimants and lawyers to resolve bodily injury or property damage claims.10.To pay promptly all claims the insurer owes under the contract.11.To resist, and not pay, all claims the insurer does not owe under the contract of insurance. In the United States, the average adjuster is a 22-year-old female graduate of a liberal arts college who has little or no training sufficient to allow her to fulfill the obligations imposed on her as a representative of an insurer. Much to the chagrin of insurance claims professionals, some modern insurance companies simply hire a person to be an adjuster, provide no training, and send them out to deal with the public with only the assistance of a claims supervisor who may only have two years-experience.This Compact Book of Adjusting Liability Claims- Second Edition is designed to provide the new adjuster with a basic grounding in what is needed to become a competent and effective insurance adjuster. It also works as a refresher for the experienced adjuster.
