Steve Patrick - Working with Insurance

It is natural, your insurance providers want to pay less. Come on, they are a for-profit business not funded by the United Nations, so it is only normal for them to strive to cut payments at all opportunities. Sadly, such costs often mean the carrier underpaying you. This could mean a deficit of a couple of hundred bucks, thousands, and even millions, depending on the enormity of your insurance claim. Here, the adjuster terribly shrinks your claims, unreasonably flagging many line items as illegitimate. Ultimately, you are forced to settle for poor-quality contractors whose low estimates your insurance carrier loves. But do you need to keep paying this price (either via paying the deficit out of pocket or settling for materials of inferior quality)? A BIG NO.In this podcast, we bring on Steve Patrick,  strategic advisor, consultant, contractor/PA coach, to come thoroughly educate us on working with insurance. Steve has been serving the construction and insurance industries performing appraisal dispute resolution, including umpiring for 18 years.
