Is pleased to present

Understanding Mold in the Restoration Industry Thursday @ LIONS GATE

April 14, 2016

The Sacramento Claims Association is pleased to present a two-hour continuing education course, “Understanding Mold in the Restoration Industry” at the April 14, 2016. Noon luncheon with the course running from 12:30-2:30pm.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

This course has been specifically designed to teach and explain the special procedures used by professionals in mitigating mold damage claims for the insured. The purpose of the course is to provide you, the insurance professional, with a better understanding of the work performed by the mitigation vendor at mold damage work sites. You will learn remediation processes which can help control the cost of the claim if performed in a timely manner. We will demonstrate examples of work performed to mitigate mold damage. This course will help you better understand what your insured is going through when they have mold damage.

Ruth Anne Griffith is owner/operator of SERVPRO of Auburn/Rocklin and has been in business since January 2004. She is not only educated in the mitigation and restoration industry, but has extensive hands-on experience of every aspect of the work.

Ruth has been teaching continuing education classes since 2006 with particular interest in the ethical side of business which has been a concern to her for over 20 years.

She is a past-Vice President of the Sacramento Claims Association and was co-chair in previous years of the Sponsorship and Facilities committees.

Ruth currently lives in Sacramento, CA with her daughter.

Sacramento Claims Association News Network • April 2016

Former Los Angeles agent admits to embezzling from clients Pocketed clients’ insurance premiums for personal use, leaving clients without coverage LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Julie Diane Shinar, 44, of Long Beach was convicted of theft by embezzlement and sentenced on February 26 in Long Beach Superior. Shinar was ordered to serve three years formal probation and pay $29,158 in restitution to her victims.

Shinar received cash payments from clients and instead of remitting the payments to the insurance carrier, used the funds for her own benefit between November 2011 and February 2013.

Similar to a Ponzi scheme, Shinar used payments from some clients to cover the policy premiums for whose cash she embezzled. Clients who paid by check never received a policy and most clients were unaware of Shinar’s action.

The embezzlement was discovered during a routine insurance company audit of Shinar’s trust account.

“Shinar violated her fiduciary responsibility as a trusted insurance broker to scam consumers,” said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. “Shinar’s

theft left policyholders exposed to significant financial risk, leaving them liable and without coverage.”

During the course of the insurance carrier’s investigation, Shinar admitted to keeping the policyholders’ premiums for her personal use. The insurance company terminated Shinar and notified the department of the misappropriation of funds, which prompted this investigation.
