Good Faith Claims Adjusting in a Litigious World

Presenters: Peter Schifrin, President at SGD, Inc., and Kevin Hansen, Partner at McCormick Barstow, LLP

Heavily regulated by law– subject to potential extra-contractual liability or punitive damages– and burdened by timelines! Insurance claims adjusting and investigation seemingly leaves little room for error. Peter Schifrin of SGD, Inc., and Kevin Hansen of McCormick Barstow, LLP will review and discuss legal standards for good faith practices, offer practice pointers, explain how to deal with adversity, and provide candid advice, all supported by real-world experience. After this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• recognize and comply with claims handling regulations, statutes and case law as well as good faith practices;
• identify facts and circumstances that lead to bad outcomes and the associated liability and damages for insurers and their employees; and
• discuss practical, contractual and legal tips for avoiding bad outcomes and minimizing extra-contractual exposure.
