This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents
either are the product of the author’s imagination or are used
fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual
persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.
What major industry other than
Insurance charges you a premium for a promise and then tries hard to break that
promise? What if you knew the person
making a life and or death decision regarding you and your future only had a
High School Education, only had about two weeks training before being given a
case load in excess of 100 files and told to resolve them as new claims to the
tune of about five per day were coming to their desk? What if these adjusters were sitting at desks
in rows that resembled an assembly line and were more concerned with breaks and
lunch and quitting time than the proper handling of your claim and spent more
time in meetings and socializing after work at the local pub, then trying to
get caught up on their work and become more proficient at their job? What if these adjusters could recommend
denial of your claim, or tell medical professionals that they could not do the
medical procedure that Doctors had recommended and if these adjusters could
actually use their preconceived ideas about you, and prejudices’ in deciding
when and how much to pay for your claim?
Do you really think that the insurance companies with slogans like “the
Good Fingers people” or “like a Next Door Neighbor” or “the Stone” or “we got
your Back” has any actual merit or semblance of reality when it comes to
handling your insurance claim? Cute
icons, like Cartoon Characters, or the Blue Panther, are in place to make you
the consumer feel more confident about the insurance company that is looking to
take as much of your money as they can, and give back as little as possible. How would you feel if you knew the Insurance
Company that you were paying your hard earned money to was using that money to
not only promote Political Candidates that you would never consider endorsing,
or on elaborate meetings and parties that make the recent IRS parties seem like
a Church function? What if that
“security blanket” that you thought the insurance company was providing you was
in reality nothing more than an elaborate scam trying to separate you from your
money with a simple promise that they never intended to keep? And then you must ask the question, how does
the insurance company make us feel that we need insurance? The simple answer is
“FEAR”! Get consumers to purchase as
many things as they can, live the life they have always wanted, then implant
the fear that without insurance they could lose it all. Without fear, which is manipulated by and in
concert with, over reacted news coverage, most rational people would see
through the fog of lies and misinformation that is presented on a daily
bases. Suggestion would be to limit your
ownership to things you can protect without insurance, and if you buy insurance
do your homework and find out as much as you can about that company. It will not be easy, as they work hard to
hide behind a wall of fabricated facts, and so called real life testimonials
from Hollywood actors! In this book your
will follow my path from college to sales jobs to adjusting with several major insurance
companies. You decide your fate and future and don’t let big insurance
companies fear you into submission! Just
as with the percentage of fraudulent claims that are reported, so goes the
percentage of “bad” or “fringe” adjusters.
For the most part most insurance claims are above board as are most
adjusters. I have worked with hundreds
of adjusters and would trust my life with most of them! Not all of them, but most of them! This book is actually dedicated to all those
hard working, honest and well educated adjusters that are out there. Unfortunately many of them are now either
retired or out of work!
As I said at the
introduction, this book is fiction, and I will add that any resemblance to
actual people, companies, places, events or things is purely a coincidence and
most likely the product of the authors’ imagination.
