To avoid claims of breach of contract, bad faith, punitive damages, unresolved losses, and to make a profit, insurers must maintain a claims staff dedicated to excellence in claims handling. That means they recognize that they are obligated to assist the policyholder and the insurer to fulfill all the promises made by the insurer in the wording of the policy.

An insurer can create a claims staff dedicated to excellence in claims handling by, hiring insurance claims professionals.

If any experienced claims professionals exist on the insurer’s staff the insurer must cherish and nurture them and use their experience and professionalism to train new claims people. If none are available, the insurer has no option but to train its people from scratch using available materials and professionals who have – for a reasonable fee – the ability to properly and effectively train claims personnel.
