East Bay Claims Association News Network • February 2015

Join or Renew Your EBCA Membership Now for 2015!

The 2015 East Bay Claims Association Membership Drive is now in full swing! Annual membership do provide a significant financial support to the organization. And, a strong membership helps to keep a non-profit like EBCA viable and alive. Without all of us together there would be no EBCA. “We really appreciate all the support this organization has enjoyed the past several years,” stated EBCA President Joe Baughman. Overall membership and meeting attendance has been consistent and substantial. Still, the sense that there aren’t many adjusters at any given function remains pervasive.

“As with all our sister groups, we continue to encourage the carrier claims people and independent adjusters participate, and to become more involved,” Joe added. “East Bay Claims Association is always committed to maintaining a high degree of professional courtesy within our ranks.”

The organization has been actively taking measures to continue to raise its standing within the community at large, as well.

As an established charitable 501c(3) non-profit organization, EBCA has added the status of the Continuing Education Provider credential to the reasons to be more involved.

There seems to be a bit of a revival of carriers supporting their claims people joining and supporting their local associations.

The EBCA Board has opted to continue to offer annual FREE Memberships to insurance claims adjusters. Completion and submission of a simple membership application now allows all such claims people the benefits of membership.

Incoming President, Jack Corry, and Vice President, Tami Umland, both representatives of the Sacramento Claims Association, have laid the groundwork for what appears to be top-notch dynamic event.

“Hot August Claims” is a theme befitting not only the Summer timing of the event, August 11-12, 2015 but in a big way plans Hyatt Regency for a sizzling conferDowntown Sacramento ence and trade show.

With the early dates this year, the committee is positioning itself to get off on the right foot. Exhibit booth registration and sponsorship options are both scheduled to open in early February for returning exhibitors and sponsors, respectively.

Following three years of experimenting with a CCNC Dinner Banquet, the committee agreed to forego the banquet this year.

By all appearances, most folks prefer to have the time between the end of the first day and the evening’s casino night be left Continued page 8

Staples Returns for Annual EBCA Case Law Review

By Lynna Harrison Photos by Bryan Harrison - Association News Network

East Bay Claims Kicked off the New Year with their regular second Wednesday Luncheon, Wednesday, January 14, 2015, at Zio Fredo’s in Pleasant Hill.

Perennial guest speaker, Attorney Bill Staples, of Archer Norris, presented an overview of the most interesting cases from 2014.

"I am not here to preach law,” Staples said. “I am bringing you light-hearted cases."

He referenced a number of cases he found significant, interesting, and some amusing. While he did not bother to site the cases specifically, he did say that if anyone needed that information he would be happy to provide it.

One of the most significant cases he touched on involved an adjuster who basically crossed the line with his insured, and ultimately getting personally named in a subsequent lawsuit for mistreatment of his Insured. Staples cautioned to be careful not to cross the line.

Michelle Windsor-Baughman won the 50/50/raffle prize.

Please join us for the first EBCA Continuing Education Course February 11, 2015. It’s a free morning session, running from 8:30 to 11:30 at Zio Fredo’s. Three (3) CE credits will be provided. See the next page for details.

The regular Monthly Luncheon will follow.

“Sword Or Shield”

“The DNA of Fire Investigations – NFPA 921 – Sword or Shield ” This program utilizes visually compelling fire cases to illustrate effective forensic fire investigations. The discussion evolves to the discussion of the evaluation of the expert and their findings. The insurance claims professional’s responsibilities extend beyond the technical ability to resolve issues of: coverage, liability and damages. The process of investigation, evaluation and resolution is one that relies on good judgment to discharge their contractual responsibilities to their customers. The insurance claims professional’s responsibilities include the demanding challenge of evaluating the technical abilities of experts. The investigation, evaluation and resolution of coverage, liability and damages require good judgment to discharge their contractual responsibilities to their customers. They aren’t expected to be experts. They are expected to use good judgment in evaluating experts.

open to explore some of the fine dining in the immediate area adjacent to the Hyatt Regnecy in Downtown Sacramento.

Additionally, the opening night welcoming festivities will left to wishing to partake within their own groups.

“We started the welcome reception concept as a thank you to our exhibitors some years ago,” said returning Exhibitor Committee CoChair, Lisa Winn. “As it was expanded with the early afternoon opening session to a general event, most have found the reception has become unnecessary.”

“We are excited about topics on the discussion table, and potential presenters for this year,” stated an enthusiastic President Corry. “CCNC is an event people look forward to, and we are committed to making it the best we can,” he added. Stay tuned in the coming weeks and months for more. Site updates will be forthcoming at www.ClaimsConference.org, or Like the CCNC Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TheCCNC.
