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.

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.
