E&O - Are You Covered?

Dimechimes ClaimsMentor Adjuster Information Blog published a fantastic post last week regarding litigation in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. We strongly urge you to read the post. It summarizes Adjusters' need for E&O coverage as several of these cases name adjusters as third-party defendants.

Storm Names - 2009

Ana, Bill, Claudette, Danny, Erika, Fred, Grace, Henri, Ida, Joaquin, Kate, Larry, Mindy, Nicholas, Odette, Peter, Rose, Sam, Teresa, Victor, Wanda

The ATEC Value Proposition

Citizens Property & Casualty Corporation of Florida - alone - has 1.4 million policies in the state. NADO Insurance Services, Inc. is one of the largest Independent Adjusters (IAs) working with Citizens. Should even a minor storm hit, claims will begin flooding NADO.

NADO is seeking adjusters that are qualified and willing to get certified to work for Citizens, Southern Fidelity, Capitol Preferred, Hanover, and several other carriers. As a result of this need, NADO is offering these certifications at a reduced price in order to develop our roster of qualified, committed, and certified adjusters. None of these companies will allow you to work without current certifications.

The value is this: NADO is providing this training through ATEC (Adjuster Training and Education Conferences). Many of you have asked us repeatedly to bring the classes closer to you. Well now we have. ATEC is coming to as many locations as possible to make it more cost effective (less travel expense) for adjusters to attend. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Orlando.

Being a qualified adjuster - certified specifically for these companies - means that you will be more quickly deployed than other adjusters who are waiting on emergency certifications (if available) when a storm hits. And with Citizens, due to their size, longer opportunity in the field means more money.

The bottom line is this. Time are not changing, they have changed. These companies are not only looking for adjusters that could handle some claims for them, they are looking for commitment. A commitment to excellence through education. They want your commitment so they can commit to you. They have provided us with their training materials and charged us to make it available to you. You want to work with top notched companies? This is the price…

Another NADO certification training class was held in Jacksonville, Florida May 18th-May 20th. Overall the class was a huge success. Accolades go out to all that attended, despite the distance and the rainy weather! The Xactimate class was especially insightful and according to the feedback from those who attended, the shortcuts were most welcomed! Many thanks to all that attended and to all the instructors.
