It seems that MD and other states have questioned the use of software pricing guides to settle losses. This link should be required reading for everyone. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/weather/hurricane/bal-md.flood12mar12,0,254430.story

Isabel was typical of most flood events.I believe if we looked at the Houston Flood, the percentage of those not happy with their settlement would equal or even exceed Isabels numbers. Isabel dealt with a huge number of beach front properties, The hot issue as I understand it is, which floor has coverage!!. I know that anyone living in an elevated building has a copy of their elevation certificate. Most of my insureds had theirs and I explained how to read and understand it. There are only two numbers important. The B.F.E.(base flood elevation) and the box on the bottom stating "ground adjacent to". The difference in these two numbers tells you which floors have coverage. If the B.F.E. is 8' and the ground adjacent to is 6', then everthing above the 2' mark has coverage. The flood "Zone" determines the parameters. In a "V" Zone the lowest horizontal structural member has to be above the B.F.E., "A" Zones are from the top of the floor. I dont know where the pilings come in to play, they have nothing to do with coverage. I hope we can let the powers that be, finish their job and hopefully put an end to blaming adjusters or software vendors for the discontented in Maryland. Y'all have a great day!!!

Was the claim overpaid, was the claim underpaid. The truth often does not even come for months after the storm when the work and repairs have been completed. Does the insured file for a supplement? Most of the time if a building claim was properly worked you will the holdback and possiably a supplement will be requested. Should the homeowner not request the holdback so ofter one of two things have happened. The required work was not carried out or if work was done within the acv amount paid it stands, the claim was overpaid ! "Experienced adjusted" does not always mean a "quilified" adjuster. I have met adjusters who have years of experience but lack a lot in current policy knowledge, materials cost, custruction methods and will not take the time to look into local pricing. So many adjusters work on the "wham bam thank you mam" method and scream holy heck when claims servicing comapny opt to use the holdback untill the claim is reviewed and closed, "fully closed". There are many adjusters out there who are profesionaly, properly motivated, up-to-date on policy and procedure. I have met many of these people and they are shining stars to me. The industry as a whole suffers when the adjuster is motivated to settle a claim based on what he will get paid or on his "opinion" of the homeowner. To me this is a better place to insert Dick Allen's favorite saying, "there is so much sadness in the world. Don't ever be afraid to call you manager or file reviewer, discuss your thoughts, ask how the carrier and yes, manager and claims servicing company looks at something. We can't be all knowing in all things when we may service several companies in one year. Let the people us carry some of the baggage. Put their name and dates into your claim. This is a great CYA method. I would own the claims serving company if I wanted to take all of the hickies, I remain a lowly "I.A.", best way I know of passing the downside of this business on to someone elses shoulders. This a hard industry to survive in. There is both good and bad and sometimes it growns into great or evil. This site was created for this reason. Roy and others wanted us to have a place to come together, share, grow, cry, cuss and solve some of the issues. May there be many a stormy day ahead of us.

Hello alanporco, I am in the information / knowledge management field. Also, logistical and human behavorial study disciplines are woven into my research work. I also feel it's important to respect other peoples desire to introduce themselves, and express themselves, as they alone see fit. And for the record, both my forward / back slash keys work...and are used, I hope, responsibly. I registered and joined the CADO community to learn more about consumer, carrier, policies, and "cat" / "daily" adjusting concerns. Any productive help regarding those people centric issues is appreciated. For katadj, Again, I am not an attorney of any flavor. The study of anti-consumer, anti-trust, collusive, tortous interference, deceptive / uncompetitive / illegal restrictive trade business practices and issues make up part of the topography / geodesic like research and conclusions I'm involved in. For you cliche' lovers, "Junk in...sift the [defined] junk out" data mining and sharing is what I do. For you food lovers, I'm a "low fat consumer info linked-sausage maker".

ClmGui: "I also feel it's important to respect other peoples desire to introduce themselves, and express themselves, as they alone see fit." You do, indeed, have the right noted above. You also need to understand, and should since you are involved in "human behavorial study disciplines," that when one party chooses anonymity and the other party is completely open about who they are and what they do, there is going to be doubt and mistrust of the hiding party. The reference to your forward slash key has to do with another poster who has repeated brought issues (the same ones over and over) to this site over which we, as field adjusters, have no control. If you ever decide to publish something, make sure you have a really, really good editor.

There are enough issues at the present time. Why muddy the waters more, with lawyers, suits, accusations etc. All NFIP is doing is attempting to clarify some issues that may have been misrepresented, mal-adjusted, or just a clear mistake. Let us give them the opportunity to rectify those mistakes, settle the claims fairly and go on to the next event. We all have made errors either in judgment, or interpretation of policy, or estimating. At least the NFIP is attempting to satisfy the claimants and have not closed the door on them. The final outcome is yet to be seen. Possibly the file complaints, reviews, re-inspections and required supplements will allow this issue to pass within a reasonable time. (The 2004 Hurricane season is nigh) The NFIP is the only source of flood insurance, and those that work flood, (Our comrades –in-arms), are dependent on this, so why bite the hand that feeds us?

From The Baltimore Sun... By Andrew A. Green Sun Staff Originally published March 28, 2004 Until six months ago, Steve Kanstoroom hadn't given flood insurance a second thought. But on Thursday, the retired consultant from Talbot County was sitting with the head of the federal flood insurance program in the lobby of a suburban Washington office tower, sharing insights into ways to prevent a repeat of the widespread problems with claims that followed...

To: rvondohlen From: Steve Kanstoroom Re: No Cigar, I’m Not CLM GUI Thanks for the 2 minutes of fame. I would have written sooner except, since the 3/28 Baltimore Sun article ran, I have been busy enlarging all of the doorjambs in my house so my head will fit through. Rest assured, I am not CLM GUI. If you have a burning desire to uncover his identity, perhaps you could work something out with the admin. I have worked on this issue since November. At this point several issues stand out. Most adjusters believed they were doing the right thing, whether it be allowing only four feet of sheetrock to be replaced, or disallowing first floor enclosures. No one should expect that adjusters be required to read 332 pages of regulations, and several other books incorporated by reference, in order to perform their job. Nor should they be required to catch when the claims manual is out of sync with the regulations. I believe adjusters should be able to rely upon instructions provided to them by the WYO’s as accurate. After all, the WYO’s, based upon published figures, collectively make more than 600 million a year in the form of their share of premiums. Certainly they should be able to properly comprehend the regulations and be aware that the intent of the Act, contrary to common misconceptions, is to make the insured whole for a covered peril. Perhaps some might even suggest that, in the event the WYO received instructions contrary to the Act, the WYO had an obligation to bring such a matter to NFIP’s attention. Unwritten rules, or rather rules that are inconsistent with the regulations and the intent of the Act, and delivered in the form of verbal instructions or email from third party administrators, other contractors, or others, have been relied upon in many cases by adjusters and adjusting firms to the detriment of the flood victims. Several of your colleagues have contacted me wanting to help shortchanged victims, yet wary of reprisals. They have reported pressure from examiners to change their proof of loss forms, and threats of an E&O claim, or worse, in the event that they failed to make such adjustments. Others have expressed a desire to right what they believed were other wrongs, however, are concerned that such information could cause them distress in one from or another. Still others are concerned about WYO efforts to replace qualified adjusters with less qualified, laptop equipped claims writers. In their view, these people are unable to adjust and unlikely to question dubious practices – giving competent adjusters a bad name. All had concerns that their information would reach people in a position to act responsibly upon it. At this time countless victims remain in the position of being unable to put their life back together due to a failure to receive adequate compensation for a covered peril. We are not talking about under insured or contents vs. property issues. We are talking about .30 on the dollar; squawk and they get .60. Next, the policyholder gets a letter from the WYO reminding them that they can file suit in Federal Court. This type of treatment has been unleashed on families that are split – children forced to live with neighbors so they can remain in their school district; a family with their home stuck 15’ in the air on 6x6s unable to afford to lower it back onto the newly constructed foundation, living in a camper set in a sea of mud all the while, until very recently, being harassed about how much longer they will need to use the FEMA camper; an elderly couple forced to sell a flood damaged home “as is”, unable to afford a mortgage and rent, worn down by stonewalling and low-balling. I have personally come in contact with more than a hundred of these situations. These people will never be made whole, even if eight months after the loss they receive the compensation they deserved months ago. Some have lost their pets; many say they have lost family members due to heart attacks from the endless stress. In many cases their finances go, then their relationships crumble. All the while, according to the MD Insurance Administration and the Baltimore Sun and others, WYO’s have resisted turning files over, citing “privacy concerns” to the State Insurance Commissioner and FEMA, thereby further delaying the claims process. At this time I continue to believe from first hand encounters that senior management in FEMA’s Mitigation Division is deeply committed to “doing the right thing”. If you believe you have any information that would help them to turn their ship around, or other information you feel they should know, I would suggest you call them. Anthony Lowe, Director can be reached at 202 646-2780, his Deputy Director Trey Reid can be reached at 202 646-3595. Alternatively, you could call Andy Green at the Baltimore Sun 410 494-2935.
