What Are Car Insurance Claim Adjusters


News Image

“Drivers are recommended to cooperate with claim adjusters up to a certain point. If a claim adjuster settlement is too low, drivers should bring documents and arguments, and offer a counter-proposal,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director

If a policyholder had a car accident, he will likely want to file an insurance claim under his policy or the other’s driver policy. Once a claim is made, an insurance adjuster that works for the insurer will contact the policyholder. An insurance claims adjuster is an insurance company’s employee who is charged with investigating the facts of a car accident and negotiating a claim settlement. The adjuster will try to figure out what happened and what the claim is worth.

The claim adjuster will try to gather all the facts and obtain all the information from the policyholder about the accident he was involved in. The insurance adjuster will then see if there is coverage in the policyholders’ policy and then will try to determine who was at fault before settling the value of the auto accident insurance claim.

During the investigation, the claim adjuster can do the following things:


  • Request a copy of the police report for review
  • Contact the other driver
  • Talk with the accident witnesses
  • Visit the place where the accident happened
  • Inspect the car for damages
  • Take images of the car
  • Ask to sign a medical release form in order to view medical records
  • Contact medical providers for information regarding injury expenses


After the documents and details are analyzed and the damage is evaluated, the claim adjuster will start the negotiations in order to settle the claim. The client can refuse or accept the settlement. Policyholders can also offer a counter-proposal if they bring arguments in their favor.

Losses estimated at $6 billion. Car owners will be reimbursed if their car got stolen, only if they purchased comprehensive insurance. To prevent the theft of their vehicle, drivers should follow the next tips:

  • Stop the engine of their vehicle. If they have to leave their car unattended, drivers should stop the engine. Even if it’s for a short time. Thieves need only a few moments to steal a car with its engine running.
  • Install anti-theft devices. Devices like fuel cut-off systems, ignition kill switches, or steering wheel locks can deter car thieves. Also, many car insurance companies offer discounts for installing anti-theft devices.
  • Park the vehicle in a safe place. It is important to always park the vehicle in a place that is circulated and offers lots of visibility. Parking places that have video surveillance are recommended.
  • Remove the valuables inside their vehicles. Laptops, phones, jewelry, bags, and others can be tempting for many thieves, so drivers are recommended to remove them from plain sight.
  • Invest in a GPS tracking system. GPS tracking systems are very helpful for authorities when it comes to recovering stolen vehicles. Having a tracking device or system will be really helpful, should the car be stolen. A state of the art system will help the authorities pinpoint the location of the stolen car.

Why Drivers Should Purchase Uninsured And Underinsured Coverage


News Image

It is important to have coverage suited for any situation. UM/UIM coverage will help you get sufficient money”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Mandatory in many states, uninsured motorist insurance will cover drivers that are hit by other drivers that don’t carry any type of insurance. Closely related to uninsured motorist insurance, underinsured motorist insurance will cover drivers that are hit by other drivers that carry insurance, but is not enough to pay for all the damage they caused.

Uninsured motorist coverage, or UM for short, will come into effect following these situations:

  • The policyholder has sustained injuries from an uninsured driver. In this case, the bodily injury coverage part of UM insurance comes into effect This coverage will take care of the policyholder medical bills if he got hit by an uninsured driver, or by a hit and run driver.
  • The car owner has sustained financial losses caused by an uninsured driver. If the policyholder has sustained financial losses, like a damaged car, caused by an at-fault uninsured driver, he will be reimbursed by the insurance companies. In some cases, this coverage will pay for the lost wages of the policyholder.

Underinsured motorist coverage, or UMI for short, will kick in these situations:

  • The car driver is injured by an underinsured driver. The underinsured coverage will come into effect after the underinsured driver’s insurance is exhausted. The medical bills of the policyholder are paid until a limit is reached. If that limit is reached, the policyholder should consider suing the at-fault driver.
  • The policyholder has suffered financial losses caused an underinsured driver. Underinsured motorist coverage will pay the costs to repair or replace the car of a policyholder that got hit by a driver that carries little insurance. UMI insurance will kick in only after the at-fault driver insurance got exhausted. Besides that, UMI coverage will pay for the lost capacity to work or lost wages.

How To Select A Safe Car And Pay Cheaper Insurance Rates


News Image

“It is important for drivers to pick a safe car for driving. Not only a safe car will protect the lives of its occupants, but it will also help lower the insurance premiums,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

When shopping for a new vehicle, one of the main concerns a policyholder can have is how safe is the car he is going to purchase? Choosing a safe car is important for drivers that want to keep their loved ones as safe as possible while they are on the road. Besides that, safe cars can help drivers pay less on their insurance policies.

The following tips can help drivers pick a safe car:


  •     Check the crash test scores. Vehicles with good scores will better protect their occupants from injuries or even death. Policyholders should look for “Good” front moderate overlap, small overlap, side-impact, and roof scores from the IIHS. IIHS tests evaluate two aspects of safety: crashworthiness – how well a vehicle protects its occupants in case of a crash, and crash avoidance and mitigation features – technology that can prevent a collision or lessen its severity.
  •     Look for vehicles with side airbags. While frontal crashes are the most frequent type of collisions, side impacts are the second most common but are by far more likely to be fatal. Policyholders should buy cars that come with side head airbags besides every occupant seat and at a minimum, torso airbags besides the front passengers.
  •     Analyze the car size and weight. Larger and heavier vehicles are safer than smaller ones. However, some big cars are prone to rollovers or other issues. Mid-sized sedans with high safety ratings are considered ideal choices.
  •     Crash avoidance technologies. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 94 percent of fatal crashes occur because a human being made an error or a poor choice. Crash avoidance technologies can sense what’s going around a vehicle and will either act in the place of the drivers or alert them. Ever improving technologies like advanced braking and warning systems can minimize injuries and damage from collisions.

How To Compare 2 Or More Online Car Insurance Quotes


News Image

“Comparing online quotes is important for drivers that want to save money on their car insurance,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Before renewing or buying a new insurance plan it’s important to get price estimates. The easiest way to compare insurance rates is by using online quotes. When comparing quotes for the same policy, drivers should consider the following:


  •     Make sure they provide the same data and choose the same options. To properly compare insurance quotes, drivers should use the same info on all compared quotes. That means they should ask for the same policies, same services and extra services, same coverage limits and deductibles.
  •     Policyholders should use correct and accurate data. When filing the questionnaires, policyholders should make sure that info they put in all forms is correct. Providing wrong data can make some estimates to be too low or too high.
  •     Provide accurate estimates. In almost all forms, drivers will be required to provide an annual mileage estimate. Depending on the provided mileage, insurance companies can offer better insurance rates estimates for those drivers that use their vehicle less than the average, or they can offer expensive insurance rates estimates to drivers that use their cars often.
  •     Use reliable sources. Policyholders should use companies that are trusted when comparing online quotes.

Costly Auto Insurance Mistakes That Should Be Avoided


News Image

“Drivers should avoid doing mistakes when negotiating their insurance policies. Any mistake done during negotiations can be very costly,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Car insurance was created to financially protect both the driver and its vehicle. Any mistake can cost the policyholder several hundred or even thousands of dollars per year, or it can leave him without proper protection. Drivers who do not know what each policy covers can make some huge mistakes.

Drivers should avoid the following major mistakes:


  •     Going to policy negotiations without having all the required documents. Getting car insurance is not simple. Drivers will not simply go to an insurance agency, sign a document, and handle some money. The procedure of getting insurance is more complex. Drivers should first call the insurance company and ask what documents they need to prepare. Then drivers should prepare the documents and handle them when asked by the car insurance agent. Also, drivers should know information about their driving history, graduated defensive courses, VIN number, and so on. The insurance agent will probably reschedule the meeting if the driver doesn’t’ have all the required documents.
  •     Not demanding the insurance agent to explain the terms that are not familiar. Many policyholders are not familiar with some of the insurance terms. Where there are some unclarities, drivers should ask the insurance agents to explain them. It will be a great mistake to sign an insurance deal without fully understanding it.
  •     Not obtaining quotes before the negotiation. Online quotes can help drivers compare prices from multiple insurance providers. It only takes a few minutes to compare prices and find a policy that can offer the proper coverage at an affordable price. Also, online quotes can help drivers to be mentally prepared for the negotiation meeting.
