What’s up, public adjusters! What are endorsements? Why are they vital to public adjusters, and why do insurance companies use them? In today’s video, Jeromy Leavelle, our commercial claims coach will explain to you; 👉 What endorsements are and why they can make or break a claim. 👉 How to identify endorsements and their meaning in a policy. 👉 And why are they used in the first place? Firstly, understand that endorsements can make or break your claim. You might be working on a claim where the client lost their home and all the valuable jewelry. However, if there isn’t an endorsement covering jewelry, likely, you cannot add their value to the estimate. And that is just one example! There are many types of endorsements, and each situation is different. Hence, you must read your client’s policy carefully to understand what damages are covered and if there are endorsements limiting or adding to the policy. After all, understanding the policy is the core of working as a public adjuster! Video published on the YouTube on Jan 25, 2023

The date of loss is a critical piece of information that public adjusters rely on to help their clients receive fair compensation for their losses. This week's episode of the Commercial Claims Show is brought to you by Black Diamond Housing Services, The Farber Law Firm, and Noble Tax Strategies.​ A date of loss establishes the timeline of events and helps you prove the damage was sudden and accidental. In this episode, we explore; 👉 Why the date of loss matters, 👉 How it affects the insurance claims process, 👉 The steps public adjusters should take to ensure their clients receive the compensation they deserve. Most homeowners or untrained public adjusters aren’t prepared during the first conversation with the insurance agent, and they might say something that hurts the claim. For example, it is perfectly acceptable to put the date of discovery as the date of the loss if your client hadn’t noticed a pinhole leak before the damage became significant. You only have to argue the client couldn't have noticed the damage sooner! But if you say the damage has been there for a while, you are severely cutting your chances. If that sounds like something you did recently, I suggest you watch our video, other training videos, and e-books and learn how to use the date of loss! 0:00 Introduction 02:53 What is the date of loss? 03:08 What is the most important thing about an Insurance claim? 04:24 Some mistakes to avoid when filing a claim 05:31 How do you determine when damage occurred 07:00 How to file a claim for Interior damage 07:49 What is the date of discovery in filing a claim 08:15 What is the difference between storm and exterior damage? 10:39 Why you should abide by post-loss information. #publicadjuster #insuranceclaim #dateofloss =========================== 👉 Shoutout to our partners 👈 ► Black Diamond Housing Services - https://housing.blackdiamondservices.com/ ► Noble Tax Strategies & Wealth Planning - https://noblewealthplanning.com/ ► The Farber Law Firm - https://thefarberlawfirm.com/

This week's podcast episode is brought to you by Black Diamond Housing Services, The Farber Law Firm, and Noble Tax Strategies.​ Today I am here with Matt Danskin, the owner of Restoration Referral System, and the creator of a unique selling tactic for contractors and public adjusters. Matt Danskin has a sales training program in which he teaches: 👉 How contractors and public adjusters can receive referrals from insurance agents. 👉 How to network and sell your services better. 👉 And how to find carriers worth all that hassle. I know I am not alone when I say insurance agents are among the last people I would expect referrals from. But, Matt’s system has worked for him and is working for many contractors he trained. There might be many public adjusters like you and me who can learn from Matt and his selling techniques. This guy installed his first roof when he was 14, went on to study business administration, and worked in various sales positions. If nothing else, he knows his way around construction and sales.
