“Avoiding Pitfalls of Bad Faith” at May EBCA

7

By Lynna Harrison

The May 10, 2017 Luncheon Meeting of the East Bay Claims attendees were treated to Speakers Mark Inbody and Jennifer Wahlgren, of Selman Breitman LLP. Their handout materials were entitled; Bad Faith 101- Avoid The Pitfalls.

Ms. Wahlgren spoke first saying “we want this to be practical for you”. Bad Faith is the allegation that some one did something bad. “We are the clean up crew,” she said.

The law implies a covenant of good faith and fair dealing in every Insurance Policy. If an Insurer fails to do this without proper cause - like refusing to pay its Insured for a loss covered by the Policy - this may result in a breach of Contract. An alleged breach could then lead to a legal action, in which the insured would sue for Bad Faith.

The duo suggested some practical tips to help prevent potential pitfalls leading to such a breach of contract. First and foremost, keep regular claim notes documenting every communication with the insured, including telephone calls. Make sure all communications with the insured remain professional and courteous. Keep a diary with all key deadlines with reminders. Diligent Claim Handling: promptly respond to communications with insured. Promptly request information from the Insured. Inform the insured of all benefits, coverages, time limits or other policy provisions.

Mr Inbody cited several example cases of bad faith that resulted in Million dollar losses, providing some great perspective of what can happen.

Inbody and Wahlgren provided some useful information that could well help claim departments drastically reduce potential bad faith exposure.

EBCA Secretary, Hailey Ayres, and Treasurer, John Ehlert, checked folks in at the May luncheon.

Ask Your

East Bay Claims Association News Network • June 2017

EBCA Board Members We asked your EBCA Board:

“What is your favorite thing to do in the East Bay?” We asked your EBCA Board “What is your favorite thing to do in the East Bay?” A similar theme emerged with their answers that may indicate a level of why these folks work so well together. Outdoor activities and places to go, see and experience, are right here in our own back yard.

Amaya Fine said she loves going to Tilden Park in Berkeley, where they can feed animals at a small animal farm, ride the Carousel, and hop on a train with a view of the bay. She said she also likes the Great Beach in San Francisco, with spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Debra Hall -Jalen ventured a bit off the beaten path, as it were. “My favorite thing is to spend time with family and friends,” she said.

In our continuing series of getting to know your East Bay Claims Association leaders a little more personally, they were asked to answer individually to name their favorite things to do in the East Bay.

Lynna Harrison said “My favorite thing is going to the Walnut Creek Farmers’ Market to listen to my son’s President Gemma band”. “I recently enHouser started us off, joyed a ‘Spa Day’ at initially praising the Disthe Claremont Hotel in covery Museum “beMt.

I thought the Claremont was a Castle when I was seven.”

“We love to go up Mt. Diablo,” she stated. Whether just hiking and Bryan Harrison shared “The East Bay is rich with activities. Having exploring around, or venturing up to the peak, she takes the kids grown up here I know there are plenty of options. In more years, for whenever she can. me,” he said, “playing music with my band, The Buds, at the Walnut Secretary Hailey Ayres divulged her love for hiking in the Shell Ridge Creek and Orinda Farmers Markets is hard to beat for a good time.

Open Space. “It’s a great spot to go with my dog, Levi,” she explained.

Treasurer John Ehlert also enjoys the outdoors, answering simply “hiking Mt Diablo”.

Outdoor adventures were far and away the focus for the members of this board. Kathleen Taylor said she enjoys taking the ferry out on the Bay and riding bikes around Angel Island with her entire family.

Lisa Winn, too, said “Hiking the East Bay Regional Parks”.

East Bay Claims Association News Network • June 2017

By Bryan Harrison

Association News Network Publisher

With Summer just around the corner, our network affiliate organizations have been busy, and are all gearing up for some special events to come.

The biggest fund raiser of the year for most any claims association - the golf tournament - plays a vital role with these professional organizations to be able to continue-on, and do some good in the world.

Sacramento Claims led-off the golf season with their annual tournament, held May 19, 2017 at Turkey Creek Golf Course, in Lincoln, CA. The weather was lovely and the course is beautiful. More than 100 golfers turned out, and the day was a big success.

Coming up this month, the East Bay Claims Association is holding their regular luncheon meeting Wednesday,

June 14th at Zio Fraedo’s in Pleasant Hill. EBCA welcomes guest speaker, Jill Massengil, LCSW, who will discuss Working With Difficult People. Their golf tournament is slated for Friday, July 21st at Eagle Vines in Napa.

The Mid-Valley Claims welcomes Thomas Shefchick, PE as their luncheon speaker - note the new date for this event: June 23, 2017.

Mr. Shefchick, an avid supporter of local claims associations throughout Northern California, will discuss “Electrical Property Damage” from an Engineer’s perspective.

There is no June luncheon meeting for Sacramento Claims, but they have planned an SCA Night at The Rivercats baseball game in July.

Enjoy the changing weather. More sunshine is no doubt on the way!
