Listen "Ep 78 Insurance Claims Investigations (Appraisals Part 2)"
Episode Synopsis
Obligations For Insurance Claims Investigations
According to the state of Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 284-30-370:
Standards for prompt investigation of a claim. Every insurer must complete its investigation of a claim within thirty days after notification of claim, unless the investigation cannot reasonably be completed within that time. All persons involved in the investigation of a claim must provide reasonable assistance to the insurer in order to facilitate compliance with this provision.
In the second part of our conversation with Roger Howson (Seattle, WA) and many others, we discuss the insurance claim appraisal process. Episode 78 of The DYOJO Podcast will touch on topics, including
Claims investigations
Policy litigation
Insurance fair conduct ordinances
Assignment of Benefits (AOB)
Contractors crossing the line into public adjusting
Carriers playing games with insureds
Policyholders being shady with contractors
While many contractors dabble in policy interpretation, often because they think they are doing the right thing for the client, they may be crossing into the territory of public adjusting without a license. Roger discusses how, "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it better be licensed like a duck." Andy McCabe shares a story where he had to answer some tough questions with an Oregon insurance investigator.
Our guests will include:
Gordy Powell (Atlanta, GA)
Seat Scott (San Diego, CA)
David Princeton (Muskego, WI)
Bill Wilson (Nashville, TN)
Ed Cross (Palm Desert, CA)
Andy McCabe (Bend, OR)
