Profiles in Risk

Tony chats with Shannon Elsea, Founder SettlementDoneEasy. Checks have largely disappeared in the regular economy, but they continue to be the norm in paying out insurance settlements in attorney-represented claims. The process hasn't changed much in decades and that's what SettlementDoneEasy fixes. Last year in the US, over $1 billion worth of checks were stolen in the snail mail and sold on the dark web. 55% of all paper checks written last year were written by insurance carriers! SettlementDoneEasy provides a secure digital system to completely get rid of paper checks in the attorney-repped claims process!Shannon Elsea: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannon-elsea-3265a5126/SettlementDoneEasy: https://SettlementDoneEasy.comVideo Version: https://youtu.be/B35eMW9yRkw
