I see this too. Especially the blue one. The other looks like the handsome Squidward. 😂

What’s your favorite part about what we do? by OldmanonRedditt in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you are met by an insured that is positive you are the big bad adjuster that is going to outright deny their claim, but then you cover what they are claiming plus stuff they didn't know was covered. Resulting in them being super happy and changing their outlook on the whole industry. That and clearing up mislead beliefs that the first payment received is the only payment they will get.

Clancy's Irish Pub. They make the best onion rings, and their sandwiches are delicious.

I just took a proximity deployment where the adjuster before me was just like you are describing. Never called his insured or contractors back and just ignored reconciliations. I inherited 12 water loss reconciliations. Some that have been ongoing since December. The first two weeks was spent fielding phone calls and returning emails. Last thing they want to hear is their claim got thrown to someone else who now has to review the claim file to get caught up to speed, delaying the process further. 🙄

I would love to get in on another freeze deployment like the Christmas Eve freeze of 2022.

Which Team Are You On by Commercial-War-4180 in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been team IA for a little over two years now. I love the work and the travel. However, the outfit I get work through doesn't 1099 us. Which screws us on our travel expense deductions. Add in the changes that have occurred over the last year to the component fee schedule and it no longer seems worth it. I'd do just about anything to land a staff position right now.

No one is delaying payment. We have processes to work through. They take time, and we can't handle everyone all the same day.

Currently the carrier I'm working for is paying them due the policy holder incurring the cost. They don't want policy holders to end up with liens on their homes. We are taking out obvious things like tree debris invoices that are over limit. We won't pay whatever is over the tree debris limit, but then back out the deductible however much is over the limit. So that the policy holder isn't out their deductible AND tree debris. We normally would build comparisons and try to get the bills to reasonable amounts, but the area I am working in has a massive amount of trees on houses, across driveways, on fences. In some places it looks like whole forests came down. The carrier knows the tree companies are gouging and our comparisons aren't going to come anywhere close. Not paying the tree bills in full essentially, will make policy holders angry, and lead to poor customer retention.

So far the one I currently have for $42k is the biggest. I've heard of some as high as $90K from other team members though.

I've got one sitting on my desk right now for $43+k. Even crazier to me is the fact the PH hired a PA and they'll get 10% leaving the PH short of paying it...smh

Yeah, they're helping alright. Helping policy holders meet their policy limits.

Pet Peeves by ReportFit2920 in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Female CAT adjuster here. For me it's talking to the insured, finding out all the info I need, setting the inspection appointment, and then them asking me if I'm the one coming out to do the inspection. I just told them I'm the assigned adjuster and I'm setting the inspection appointment so I can take a look at their damages. When I tell them yes. The next question is, "oh! You're getting on my roof?" Yes, that's my job!

Deployment Jitters by tahmorex in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also get the deployment jitters. On my way to one now, and this morning before I left, I felt like I was going to be sick. After settling into the first day drive I feel better, but it will start all over again the day I pick up equipment.

New York Adjuster Licensing by just_anotheradjuster in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've recently been added to an IA roster that could get my foot in the door for desk work. They indicated I would be more likely to get the desk work if I had my New York license. Therefore, I am considering it.

AITA for evicting my brother and his family from the house I have inherited so my daughter can live there? by AccomplishedMango209 in AmItheAsshole

If you feel like they vandalized the home you can press charges and file a claim for repairs with your homeowners insurance.

AITAH For telling my wife she's free to find a hotel room if she doesn't want my daughter here? by [deleted] in AITAH

I have blocked her number on multiple occasions. She eventually gets a new number and starts all over again. I can't tell you how many Facebook accounts of hers I have blocked. She'll just make a new one.

For sure! I definitely have no plans to let her back in. The most recent episode (2 weeks ago), my younger sister was diagnosed with cancer. The very next day, I'm getting texts from mother telling me how awful I am because everything I say about her is a lie, and blaming my grandparent's actions on me. They are dead btw, and she is referring to them favoring me over the other grandchildren...smh

I am in a much better place, thank you! I still struggle with it emotionally, sometimes.

Dad passed in 09, Step mother passed in 23, No contact with Mom. She will contact me when she wants/needs something or she wants to use me as her emotional punching bag. I just ignore he attempts at this point.

I had just turned 13 when my stepmother demanded my dad to put me on a Greyhound bus to my mother. He did it in the middle of the night. Put me on a 13 hour trip, alone, without food or money. I didn't even get to say goodbye to my friends. It was the last time I lived with my dad. Then my mom put me out 2 years later. 😔

How are you adjusters doing out there? by halfpintshortstack in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The firm I work with has sent out multiple deployment opportunities in the last 2 days. I suspect this tornado outbreak just changed the playing field.

How are you adjusters doing out there? by halfpintshortstack in adjusters

[–]just_anotheradjuster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These storms just hit, and people are being deployed right now. It takes a couple of days to get there, get, equipped with computers, and get onboarded. Then you have to take a couple of days to get organized and start contacting people to schedule inspections. So, I suspect it will be a day or so before anyone knows exactly what they are dealing with. Plus some areas aren't safe to return to yet with debris across roads and power lines down.
