The claims game podcast is back after a few weeks off! Today, we have Kevin Dandridge, the owner of One Life Safety, talking about safety requirements during repairs and how they concern public adjusters. Kevin has a simple objective. He is here to ensure everyone’s safety. So all contractors can go home with all of their fingers and toes. Mainly, he; 👉 Is a safety consultant with extensive experience. 👉 Mentions how public adjusters could be held accountable for construction accidents because they didn’t include safety procedures in the claim. 👉 Works with contractors, public adjusters, law firms, and even insurance companies. Safety doesn’t stop with the construction company. It concerns the homeowner or property owner. Construction injuries can cause unexpected costs, litigation, and cost of business revenue. The consequences are unpredictable, not to mention dangerous, all because proper safety protocols were not in place. In fact, Kevin mentions that if contractors want to take their business from residential to commercial, they will need proper safety manuals. It might be beneficial for public adjusters to understand safety protocols as well if they want to upgrade their business too! Check Kevin's work.

In this episode, we have an On-site claim study. A major surge caused by hurricane Ian destroyed a few restaurants and some residential apartments on Sanibel island. Our job is to help the policyholders settle for the policy limit. Property owners will have to remove what is left and build from scratch! So, it makes sense they will receive the policy limit, right? Right?! At the moment of making the video, we still experienced issues with the insurance company; 👉 They paid the maximum amount for flood damage, but not a penny for wind damage yet. 👉 They are waiting on us for the estimate, and I don’t understand why. 👉 And they supposedly sent their engineer, but I haven’t seen a report yet. We are also over the 90-day limit in Florida, so they should have already paid for wind damage. And that is exactly where the problem lies. Public adjusters, take note! No one can argue this isn't a total loss, but we still have to prove the damage not covered by the flood limit happened because of wind. Flood damage has a much smaller limit. So it is the public adjuster’s responsibility to prove and argue for the property owner's benefit. Without the paid policy limit, these people will have a grueling time getting their restaurant business back on track! Published in #Youtube on Jan 20, 2023

What’s up, public adjusters!? What is stopping you from creating content on social media? Do you realize you should be omnipresent to grow your business today? In this week’s podcast episode, I am here with Patrick Carr, the owner of the Blue Collar Media Group and the host of the Patrick Carr show. Patrick is a true grinder. He built his business from the ground up back when all he had was a broken car and a smartphone. He also likes to make himself uncomfortable with challenges that bring him a new point of view. Patrick is here with me today to teach you that: 👉 You can create content with nothing more than a smartphone. 👉 Your potential clients spend time where they are comfortable, so if you want to reach them, you should create content for all platforms. 👉 The special session coming up next week might change the course of the industry. The last point here is quite significant, so join me and Patrick Carr, as we discuss where the restoration industry is heading and what you can do to keep your business afloat! Check Patrick's work.

In this episode, we are going to talk about my Top 5 Thoughts on How the New Senate Bill Concerns Public Adjusters . The new Senate Bill is live and kicking with major changes to the industry. I understand you are worried. I understand many of you will want to leave the restoration industry and do something else. However, it is crucial public adjusters understand what is going on and how it affects us before making big decisions. There are two major changes with a significant impact on the restoration industry. 👉 First, attorney fees and costs are out of the game. So, if you send a claim to litigation, the homeowner covers attorney fees and costs from the settled amount. 👉 Second, the AOB is out the window. AOB allowed us to not worry about covering mitigation costs from contractors. Now that is the homeowner's responsibility as well. All in all, the new senate bill makes it significantly harder for homeowners. And that is exactly why we should continue our struggle and double our efforts in the fight for the homeowner! Without the attorneys, who will they turn to file the claim? To public adjusters, of course! Published in #Youtube on Jan 11, 2023

In this episode, we are going to talk about the days and limits that the insurance company has to respond to and do different things. Most of the policyholders do not know about this, and probably some adjusters also. But you must know all of these limits because you make sure that insurance companies are aware that they stick to these deadlines. These are statutes! These are laws that have been written to keep insurance companies under control, so they don't forget about your claim, underpay your claim, or do anything that they are not supposed to do! Therefore, I think as a public adjuster one of the more important things is to hold the insurance companies accountable to these limits! The fact that we have these limits, we need to take advantage of them! We can notify the state, we can file Civil Remedy Notice, etc. Disclaimer: These limits are strictly related to Florida. Most states got their own limits, Texas got its own limits, and California does too. But not all of them. Make sure you pay attention to your state. Published in #YouTube Mar 17, 2021

How to Approach Marketing as a Public Adjuster With Liz Calzadilla - Claims Game Podcast 051 What’s up, public adjusters! Liz Calzadilla started in the roofing industry in 2015, leading her to consult the restoration industry in 2019. Fast forward a few years, and here she is, running a 50-people marketing and design business aimed at the restoration industry. In this week’s podcast episode, Liz shares the importance of personal branding for public adjusters. Investing in your personal brand and connecting it with your business means you get a chance to: 👉 Connect with your audience on a personal level. 👉 Educate homeowners on the importance of your services. 👉 Lift the public image of the whole industry! You already know the time is now to unify our message and ethically help homeowners. The less reason we give to the insurance companies to bash us, the more we can count on the livelihood of our profession. Marketing is crucial in how you present yourself and your business to policyholders. So don't think a personal brand is something for the successful few, and invest in it from the start to reap the benefits later. Not sure how to do that?

Have you ever had this happen to you? That a client wants to terminate your contract and find another public adjuster or give up on the claim altogether? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us, especially in the early days of our careers. But the trick is to do everything possible to prevent your client from leaving. Here’s something to have in mind for your next claim. 👉 Include your client in the communication between you and the insurance company. 👉 Your client has every right to cancel the contract during the rescission period. Terminating a contract after rescission becomes tricky. 👉 Clients are your referrals, so you want to enter and exit the claim with their best interests in your heart. If they want to terminate your contract because your efforts were ineffective, let them and give them a release. However, clients often think you haven’t been doing anything, even if you did everything you could to help their case. If that's the case, show them. Show them the emails and the effort you put in to make their claim successful. There it is, guys. Keep the policyholder in your hearts, and you will get far as a public adjuster!

Richie Kidwell, the owner of Air Quality Assessors and the president of the Restoration Association of Florida, is here to talk about the state of the insurance industry. Richie formed the Restoration Association of Florida in 2014 when he experienced the insurance companies coming after public adjusters and contractors in legislation for the first time. Insurance companies have much bigger budgets than any of us and have the ability to influence homeowners through big media channels. Just look at what is happening right now. Because of a few bad apples, they are calling all public adjusters locusts. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to prevent the insurance companies from going too far: 👉 Be professional and ethical. Don’t give the insurance companies more reason to portray us badly in the media! 👉 Document their misconduct. A time will come when our collected documentation could make a difference. 👉 Join forces with other public adjusters! The fact people forget is that when insurance companies lobby for legislative changes that damage the restoration industry, they hurt the homeowners too. Richie Kidwell explains the state of the insurance industry in depth. From this episode, you can learn how to approach the claim process now, and what to expect in the future!

Look, I want to make it educational. Because of the feud that I recently noticed over the last week or so between a roofing contractor and a public adjuster on social media I wanted to make this educational video and to inform you exactly how we can actually co-exist. You will see how we could benefit not just our businesses but obviously the policyholder as well. I'm going to go through the roles of the public adjuster the roles of the contractor and the benefits that each has if we are actually on the same claim at the same time. If you watch the whole episode you will find out: 👉 PA Claim Responsibilities 👉 Contractor Claim Responsibilities 👉 The benefits to the Contractor when the PA is involved 👉 The benefits to PA when the Contractor is involved 👉 How should we coexist and dominate There's no reason why a public adjuster and a roofing contractor should be battling. There are a lot of benefits to the two working together. Published on YouTube on Jan 19, 2022
