Some insurance companies figured out they can increase profits simply by paying out less. It’s not complicated. When claims don’t get paid, margins go up. Insurance carriers don’t make money by writing checks. They make money by limiting them. Take E. Adams, a 60 year old woman left in a coma after a multi vehicle crash in Washington State. Her carrier, Farmers, denied the claim by arguing the other driver acted intentionally, and therefore the crash was not an accident. No coverage. Or D. Potter. She spent years selling disability policies for Unum. When multiple sclerosis forced her to stop working, Unum denied her claim, calling the condition “self reported.” The same policies she sold to protect others didn’t protect her. These aren’t rare outliers. They’re examples of a system built around deny, delay, defend. Do whatever it takes to avoid paying valid claims. At companies like Allstate, internal training materials have focused on minimizing payouts. Adjusters have been rewarded f...

AUSTIN — Several weeks after signing a contract to get her roof replaced for $25,000 last summer, Mary Jane Pierson of Fort Worth started to worry she was getting scammed. Her repeated phone calls to the roofing contractor weren’t returned or she was offered a litany of excuses about why the job wasn’t getting done: the company’s office flooded, the owner’s wife was in the hospital, shipment of the shingles had been delayed. “I knew there was a serious problem,” she said, recalling the change in behavior of the roofer, whose initial friendly demeanor before he secured the contract — and a check for $14,000 — was gone. Pierson, whose $200,000 brick home is still waiting for a new roof, said the contractor originally came knocking on her door — as did several others — last spring after a massive hailstorm in North Texas. He was very helpful and offered to get her insurance claim moving — so she agreed to sign a contract. “Everything looked on the up and up. So I gave him the first check ...

One tactic insurance companies use to circumvent bad faith liability is claiming that they reasonably relied on their experts’ reports to deny a claim. Texas law on bad faith states that an insurer breaches its duty of good faith when: (1) denies or delays payment of a claim for which liability is reasonably clear, and (2) the insurer knew or should have known that liability was reasonably clear. For that reason, insurance companies often claim that because their retained experts decided that there was no valid insurance claim, liability was not reasonably clear and they should not be found liable for bad faith. Courts typically side with insurance companies on this issue, but sometimes the facts of a case require courts to doubt this argument, just as the Texas Supreme Court did in State Farm Lloyds vs. Nicolau , 951 S.W.2d 444 (Tex. 1997).  In Nicolau, a homeowner filed a lawsuit against its insurer for foundation and other structural damage that resulted from a plumbing leak tha...

It pays to have us on your roof with an insurance adjuster Did you know that most insurance claims in the U.S. are grossly underpaid? Even worse, many legitimate claims are completely denied. This doesn't necessarily mean that your insurance company is out to cheat you. However, when it comes to spotting roof damage, we've spent a lot more time on rooftops than even an insurance adjuster.   Elite Roofing Solutions technicians know what to look for regarding roof damage and may be able to see problems that the adjuster doesn't. We have worked with many insurance adjusters over the years and take a non-adversarial approach when talking with them. Let us represent you. Hail damage Let’s say you have hail damage on your roof. A common practice for insurance companies is to mark a 10’ x 10’ square and count the number of hail marks. However, the section of roof they choose to measure can have a big impact on whether you get a new roof or your claim gets denied. Unnecessary Claim...

Roofing systems  characteristically get care only when they need upkeep. As long as a  roof needs  marginal repairs and keeps the contents of a facility dry and safe, maintenance and engineering managers have little to think about —or so the thinking goes. But  roofing  manufacturers say there is quite a bit to contemplate, especially when considering single-ply systems. According to manufacturers, these systems continue to harvest interest, thanks in part to the cost and performance benefits they deliver. Although varieties of single-plies have been around for more than 40 years, only in the last decade has the full performance potential of the systems been realized with the advent of new thermoplastic formulations. New plies also are increasingly economical, say manufacturers, and particularly favored by consumers when they carry Energy Star ratings. System Options Single-plies exist predominantly as two types: vulcanized unweldable elastomerics — nearly all o...
