Principles applied to the
Claims Process
+
Overview
Summary
+
Traditional approaches
Loss occurs.
Notification to Insurers
Adjuster requests information to establish cause and value of initial claim estimate to provide
an initial reserve to Insurers.
Adjuster will often establish his own As-Built and Rebuild costs independently of the Insured.
Poor documentation
Difficulty in substantiating claim
No appreciation for required detailed validation of the claim
Uncertainty over what has been accepted by Adjuster
Poor reconciliation between claimed costs and settlement proposals
Adversarial relations
Misunderstandings result in frustration
+
Why done this way?
Unnecessarily contentious
Recognition that the claim process impacts more than the RM/Insurance
group

score
