You may have noticed that on the main menu of the front page of the Premier Claim Consultants web site there is a new option: LIVECLAIMTM. LIVECLAIMTM is where Premier Claim Consultants adjusts claims "live" so that consumers and others can have the benefit of seeing firsthand how the claim settlement process takes place. It will also provide a window into the business life and activities of public insurance adjusters. Finally, it will give insurance companies an opportunity to show their quality.
Once LIVECLAIMTM is ready for use you will be able to access it through Premier's main menu which will then take you to a listing of claim files organized by the date of most recent occurrence. The claims listed will also be labeled as to the type of loss (fire, water, vandalism, etc.), the insurance company involved, and the state and county in which the claim occurred. After selecting one of the claims on LIVECLAIMTM, you will be taken to a listing of select documents sent between Premier and the insurance company during the course of the claim in chronological order. The documents chosen will be those that can be modified with respect to personal information but still capture and present the adjustment process from both the public adjuster's and the insurance company's perspective, allowing you to evaluate the claim and become more familiar with each insurance company's and with Premier's claim settlement practices.
Also listed next to each listing of claim documents will be a Claims Handling BarometerTM that will show from the perspective of Premier Claim Consultants whether or not the insurance company is compliant during the course of the claim with the "minimum standards" (section 2695.1[a][1]) of the California Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations (hereafter, "CA Regulations"). These standards are in place to "promote the good faith, prompt, efficient and equitable settlement of claims on a cost effective basis" (CA Regulations, section 2695.1[a][2]). Therefore, LIVECLAIMTM is not only a place where consumers can learn more about the process of property claim adjustments and the benefits of hiring a public insurance adjuster, but through it consumers can get a better appreciation for how different insurers meet, exceed, or fall below the standards in place in California for the settlement of claims.
LIVECLAIMTM will have active and archived claims available for viewing after January 1, 2008. More information about the features and use of LIVECLAIMTM will be given here on Property Claims Review, the official Blog of Premier Claim Consultants.
