Summary |
Perhaps the most important single person in every insurance loss is the insurance producer. He contacts the prospective insured and convinces him to buy a policy. Upon his statements, made when the possibility of loss seems most remote, the insured principally relies on his recommendations. And, if a loss occurs, it is again the insurance producer who is most frequently first on the scene-be it a fire, an in-land marine or a casualty loss-and who affords the first contact between a remote and impersonal insurance company and its anxious insured.
Yet despite the importance of the insurance producer, very little has been published to instruct him in his responsibilities, both before and after losses.
A primer on Adjustments is designed to fill this gap for which, as far as we know, no pervious book has been published. But it is not published solely for insurance producers. Field men, claim men, both with the adjustment organizations and with the insurance companies, independent adjusters-all will find the material contained herein of practical assistance to them in the proper discharge of their responsibilities in insurance losses.
This added knowledge, particularly in the field, can in many instances result in very material savings for insurance carriers. Also, because of better loss handling, it promotes better understanding between the insured, the producer and the company.
