Another chance

Three new video courses for Insurance Adjusters
The latest Continuing Education courses are
accredited and included in the Annual Adjusters Subscription.
This means subscribers can access these new courses at no
additional cost.
The new courses are:
"Collaborative Negotiation" -
Adjusters always seem to be under pressure to close files;
in fact, this is one of their mandates. What is the biggest
obstacle to achieving this goal, Disagreements? If not managed
effectively from the outset small disputes grow into bigger
ones. The result: the file stays open longer and the chances
of a good settlement start slipping away. What if you could
prevent a large percent of disputes from growing, walk away
with a good settlement and gain the respect of the other party
in the process? That's what "Collaborative Negotiation"
is all about. This course introduces principles in a methodology
for resolving conflict in a way that is ideally suited for
the claims environment.
"Torts" - Whenever faced with
a liability claim we instinctively attempt to determine fault,
look for negligence. Negligence is based on a breach of duty
of care; we accept this as the norm. In their wisdom, our
courts have recognized that there are special groups in our
society, which because of position or the relationship with
others have a higher duty of care imposed on them. There are
even extreme circumstances where parties can be held liable
in the absence of negligence. On the flip side, the courts
also recognize acceptable liability defenses which apply to
specific situations, but will not hold up under normal circumstances.
"Torts" identify these special
situations, explain the exceptions in our laws and provide
guidelines for the adjustment of claims for these out of the
ordinary occurrences.
"Contract Law and the Insurance Policy"
- It has been said that the insurance policy is one of the
most complex documents we will ever encounter. Just look at
the sheer volume of cases that have passed through our courts,
contesting the meaning and testing the application of the
wording against specific losses. When faced with questionable
coverage situations of policy breeches you only get one chance
to get it right. If you have any concerns about handling such
controversies, "Contract Law and the Insurance
Policy" is designed for you. It is a guide to
understanding the key principles of contract law including
the very same legal doctrines that the courts rely on to make
their decisions.
Each of these courses is accredited for one hour of Continuing
Education credits.
Are you interested in an Annual Adjuster Subscription? For
just $175, you can have access to numerous Adjuster-specific
