Adjusting Today Issue #3004: Expecting the Unexpected Part of the Unexpected
Manage episode 154217790 series 1116341
Policyholders may not realize the benefits of hiring a public adjuster until they understand the complexities and time required to prove and file an insurance claim. Disaster claims are a difficult type of claim to handle for commercial business owners whose core business is not insurance. Understanding ambiguous policy terminology of individual insurance providers and applying them to a claim are both solid reasons to hire a public adjuster. Public adjusters work for your business to maximize your claim in the event of a disaster.
For further information on this topic, please read our corresponding Adjusting Today article: "Expecting the Unexpected Part of the Unexpected."
Show Notes:
- Actual Cash Value (ACV): The value of property immediately before loss taking into account its "used" condition, wear & tear, etc.; usually considered the "depreciated value" although "market value" and obsolescence may sometimes also be taken into account.
- Replacement Cost: The cost to replace lost or damaged property new, with no deduction for depreciation or obsolescence.
- Selling Price Clauses: Clauses that allow the insured to recover loss of finished goods at selling price, including the loss of profit.
Key Takeaways:
[1:48] Is it possible to be 100% prepared for a natural disaster?
[6:27] What is the difference in evaluating a policy on cost versus post-lost, for a policyholder?
[9:57] What are some real world disasters that are not commonly thought about?
[23:06] Is there a timeframe in which people are able to add disaster coverage to their policy?
[25:10] What key items should a policyholder consider in the pre-loss, planning stages?
[33:32] Understanding the terminology used in today’s policies:
- Actual Cash Value - Replacement cost less physical depreciation
- Replacement Cost Coverage
- Selling Price Clauses
[41:43] Where should a policyholder go when they feel they need additional clarification?
[43:51] What is the policyholder responsible for, following a loss?
[53:46] Do commercial policies cover the charges for professional fees or public adjusters?
[1:03:34] Informative articles on this subject and others are available on the Adjusters International website
