Atlanta-Insurance-Claims-Resource:

Car Accidents

Car accidents make up many of the technical issues encountered by claims adjusters. Issues vary. The speed of the vehicles involved in an accident; which vehicle crossed the center line in the head-on collision accident; did the driver have his lights on; to did the driver have his seat belt on?

Likewise, low-speed impacts happen thousands of times each day and you may need to know if the rear-end impact really produced enough force to cause the injury to the person making the claim.

Black Boxes/Event Data Recorders

Black Boxes are installed in most passenger vehicles today. What information is available from the Black Box? Which vehicles have data available for downloading?

The number of vehicles with Event Data Recorders is growing each year, and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has set standards for Black Boxes.

Slips, Trips, and Falls

Slips, trips, and falls are often caused by unsafe conditions on the walking surface. Was the surface in compliance with local codes? Was the surface clearly marked for a pedestrian? What were the lighting conditions at the time of the slip and fall?

Water Damage Insurance Claims

Water damage occurs to property in a variety of ways, such as a roof getting damaged from a thunderstorm or a basement getting flooded during overnight rain. Was the damage a result of the storm or from lack of maintenance? Was the damage due to flooding?

Homeowners experience unexpected damage. The claims adjuster must determine the actual cause of the damage. Our experienced Hydrologists see these types of claims every day.

Home Construction Insurance Claims

Did the damage described in the home construction claim result from the construction or from lack of proper maintenance? Claims involving foundations, footings, retaining walls and structural damage are filed each day and critical questions must be addressed.

This site provides information on the types of foundations and the problems caused by a poorly designed foundation system. Also covered are defects in construction. This information will help the claims adjuster understand the technical issues of these claims.

Insurance Claims Resource

Truck Accidents

There are many factors that cause truck accidents. Experts in truck/tractor trailers are used to determine the cause of accidents since the investigation of an 18-wheeler is handled differently from the investigation of a passenger vehicle.

The methods of investigating car accidents and truck accidents are thoroughly explained.
