Message from 2015-’16 SCA

President Steve Moore, PE, CASp “Auld Lang Syne” is the title of a very popular Scottish tune sung by millions around the world in the early morning hours of each New Year’s Day. The term “Auld Lang Syne” translates to “times gone by” and the song is about remembering 2015-’16 SCA President loved ones, dear friends, and good Steve Moore, PE, CASp times from the year past. It’s also Barrish Pelham & Associates, Inc. about after raising a pint in salute of the previous year, putting it behind you and charging on into the future!

2016 looks to be a promising year for the Sacramento Claims Association! Your SCA Board of Directors did its homework and determined the Social events in 2015 provided the most “bang for your Membership buck”. So, for 2016 we have planned six (6) Social events, including the Winter Party and Golf Tournament; four (4) Educational luncheons, including two (2) CEU seminars; and, of course, the annual CCNC (Claims Conference of N. California) and our December Charities luncheon!

Of course, the real reason behind these events’ success will be (defined by) the continued support of the SCA Membership. Support through increased attendance, participation, and sponsorship will make 2016 a success for everyone!

The SCA’s 2016 Winter Party is scheduled for Saturday, January 30, at Mulvaney’s Building & Loan, in downtown Sacramento!

The event starts at 6:00pm sharp and will last until 10:00pm. There will be heavy appetizers, a hosted bar, a DJ for dancing, a raffle, a photographer, and most importantly our Members with their partners and spouses. The Winter Party is the absolute best way we know to thank everyone and show appreciation to clients as well.

It will be a semi-formal event, so if you need an excuse to wear that new ball gown, elegant little black dress, tuxedo, or suit, here is your chance! Please visit our website for more information and to buy your ticket(s). It’s going to be a wonderful event and fun for all!

Looking forward to seeing all of you there!

Please also plan now to attend our first regular luncheon meeting of the new year, Thursday, February 11th. The SCA is pleased to welcome long time supporter Mr. Jim Nolt, PE, of JH Nolt Associates. Jim has prepared a presentation on “Things That Burn In The Night” - a look at home fires - that promises to be quite enlightening, both on a professional level as well as for each of us personally. continued page 6

Insurance commissioner approves

New USAA insurance product to fill gap for its ridesharing drivers USAA meets insurance need driven by new technology fueling ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Ridesharing companies are continuing to increase in popularity as Uber, alone, has surpassed 1 billion total rides since its inception. Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones announced January 21, 2016 that he has approved a new insurance product by USAA that closes the gap in insurance coverage for drivers driving for all ridesharing companies.

The product is now available to USAA's California drivers for all ridesharing companies, such as Uber and Lyft.

"Closing the insurance gaps in ridesharing coverage is crucial to making sure passengers, other drivers and pedestrians are protected when ridesharing vehicles are on the road," said Commissioner Jones. "I am pleased to see USAA offer a product that closes

the coverage gap and helps protect California's consumers."

The new product provides liability coverage in Period 1, which begins when a driver turns on the rideshare application and is waiting for a match. Importantly, USAA's policy also keeps in force during Period 1 optional coverages that the driver has an option to purchase, such as medical payments, comprehensive, collision, rental, tow, and uninsured/underinsured motorist.

This new product is available to all drivers for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), and adding this coverage to a driver's existing policy will add seven percent to their premium.

"Our ridesharing insurance is a great example of our commitment to providing protection

where our members need it most," said Jesse Mata, USAA product management director.

"Being in an accident before they are matched with a passenger could be devastating to ridesharing drivers' finances if they don't have the appropriate coverage."

Commissioner Jones has been a national leader in encouraging innovation in the insurance marketplace, most recently in response to the emergence and popularity of ridesharing or TNCs in California. Jones identified insurance coverage issues associated with the ridesharing model early and issued a set of strong recommendations which were included in rules issued by the Public Utilities Commission and in AB 2293 (Bonilla). AB 2293, which took effect on July 1 of last year, requires TNCs

to provide liability coverage or make sure drivers have liability coverage during all periods the TNC application is on. AB 2293 does not require TNCs to provide collision or comprehensive auto insurance for drivers.

Commissioner Jones encouraged insurers to develop auto insurance products for TNC drivers and directed the Department of Insurance to begin accepting ridesharing insurance product filings from insurers nine months before the new law went into effect. To date the department has approved eight insurance products covering TNCs. ###
