When I was in management, I would refrain from using adjusters known to act in unethical ways. This became a point of contention when those above me instructed me to use unethical adjusters. I even received direct orders to act in an unethical way, which I refused and was one reason for my departure from the company.
What would happen if the adjuster presented a code of conduct for the company representative to sign before working the claims? I doubt any company would let their people sign the document.
What would be considered a violation of the code of ethics? Some are easy, such as accepting monetary or physical items in exchange for a favorable estimate. (I have had many offers, but that could be another topic) But what about working for multiple vendors in a disaster when you sign a contract to work exclusively for the vendor during the given disaster? |
