Todd Tippett to Present at NAMIC Farm Mutual Forum
May 21, 2025Todd Tippett, a partner in Zelle's Dallas, TX office, will present “Dealing with Public Adjusters, Contractors, and Storm Chasers in Challenging Situations” at the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) Farm Mutual Forum in Minneapolis, MN on May 21, 2025.
Adjusting first-party property insurance claims can be challenging. It can become even more complex when an unruly public adjuster complicates matters by suggesting disputed items are covered under the property insurance policy. Yet, recent trends suggest insureds are using public adjusters more often to advocate disputed positions. The handling adjuster must understand how to navigate this situation and how to leverage a legal team, consultants, and other experts to address the disputed issues appropriately. By the end of this session, attendees will: Better understand the purpose and proper role of a public adjuster; Be familiar with various state statutes that impact a public adjuster’s duties and responsibilities; Know how to examine specific loss situations involving public adjusters and understand the proper ways to communicate with the public adjusters in those situations. Learn proactive strategies for handling, adjusting, and resolving a disputed property insurance claim with a challenging public adjuster.
The presentation will take place on May 21, 2025 from 11:20 am - 12:10 pm (CT).
