Need help finding a way to adjust in local area. 1970 1
Started by crich
My&160;family (Dad, brothers, sister) has been cat adjusting since 2003 working with mostly one vendor. Prior to that we were on the agent side of things. We are interested in slowing down on the traveling part and starting a local adjusting company in southern VA.&160; We are just tossing this idea around since there are few local adjusting companies in our rural area.&160;I am in need of advice as to how to analize this decision and steps to take to get started.

Are you one ? Do you want to become one. 3114 9
Started by Ray Hall
We are talking about independant contract adjusters for short term weather related catastrophe work. This is the year that many of the under funded vendors who do not have the ability to pay twice a month will have to merge, close, disband. Probably about 30 to 40 of all the vendors any of you have heard the name off can make payroll as agreed and will get the best adjusters .IF the weather dictates.
Ask for the contract NOW and see what you have to fight about, because its always a f...

Confidentiality and Copyright 3519 16
Started by ChuckDeaton
I really don't know how to phrase this question, so here's the story. I put a confidentiality disclaimer and a blurb about copyright on the bottom of my emails. The recipient sends me a response and copies three others, this violates the confidentiality that I requested and may violate the copyright, if any.
I am interested in the communities thoughts on the matter.

Totaling a loss 7787 28
Started by RJortberg
I find this board to be very informative, and I thought I would post a question that has been on my mind about severe losses. My experience to date has been limited to smaller cat claims ($40-$50K max). When I look at some of the pictures of large damage, I do not know when one specifically considers a claim to be a total loss. Any guidelines would be appreciated. The more detailed the better.
For example, if a tornado destroys half of a house, bu...

I heard that several states were hit hard. Just curious if the damage is extremely widespread, or confined. Do any of you think it will be 'one of those events' to look forward to getting a call and being deployed a while. Probably lots of hail damage to i would assume.
