* Would you recommend someone use a public
adjuster?
Climate change, human activity, environmental mismanagement and variations in resilience and vulnerability are expected to increase claims volatility and the need for more
adjusters.
In modeling a claim, the data analytics scour the structured data recorded by the
adjuster, such as the claimant's name, employer, occupation, job tenure, age and medical history, which typically appear in spreadsheets or in a database.
A typical claims
adjuster will work over 100 claims each month.
The new law, sponsored by Senate Co-Leader Jeff Klein and Member of the Assembly David Weprin, goes a long way to help consumers understand some of the conflicts involved when a contractor also tries to serve as a public
adjuster on the same claim, Bob DAmore, president of the NYPAA stated, adding: "As a result of a series of complaints filed against a single City Island business that was operating as both contractor and public
adjuster referring business from one to the other without making disclosure to the consumer and creating a conflict of interest, this legislation was introduced and passed by both houses of the Legislature in one session.
"The public
adjusters can work with the insurance company and their
adjuster and give the consumer some confidence that they're being treated fairly," which might avoid a lawsuit, he said.
"Five years is too long to allow people to file claims," said Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, who is charge of licensing public
adjusters. "You should either know there is a leak in your roof or there is not a leak in your roof."

Adjusters, which is headquartered in Bahrain, provides specialist adjusting services across the Middle East region.
Is there a shortage of claim
adjusters? It depends on who you talk to.
Results like this usually can't be blamed on the
adjuster's failure to understand the claim's settlement value.
Either the in-house risk management team or an outside
adjuster should assess the damages as accurately and thoroughly as possible and gather all supporting documentation required to prove the claim.
