The SCA’s “Holiday Run” December 2016 Message from 2015-’16 SCA President Steve Moore, PE, CASp

I need to start off this month’s message with another humongous “JOB WELL DONE!!” to the SCA’s own Jason Kettlehut, and his social committee! Jason did

2016 SCA President Steve Moore, PE, CASp Barrish Pelham & Associates, Inc.

such a great job at the Top Golf event on November 17th! We packed six (6) bays on the third level full of golfers, with about to 40 participants overall! The facilities were great and the company was

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!

fantastic! But, and there always has to be a “but”, the event would not have been the success it was without our AWESOME Sponsors! We cannot thank you enough and hope your time, effort, and money were worth it!

Give it up for the following SCA Member companies who sponsored the Top Golf Social event...

1-888-Abatement CRDN of Capitol Corridor PW Stephens Regas Water Smoke Mold Barrish Pelham Let’s keep the momentum rolling for our annual Charities luncheon scheduled for Thursday, December 8, at Lions Gate Hotel. We will once again be donating a budgeted amount, including net proceeds from our 50/50 raffles, to two worthy local charities. A representative from each organization usually attends the luncheon and gives a moving speech about the charity and where the monies will be best used.

We will once again be having a canned food drive that day, so bring all you can to the luncheon and we will make sure it gets to the Sacramento Food Bank!

For a lot of people, the Holiday Season can be like running in a long, grueling race but with some really nice and relaxing “water stations” along the course. I hope all you run a great race and finish well in your “Holiday Run”! Hopefully, we will see you soon! Thanks again!

Happy Holidays!

Early Bird Membership Drive for 2017 Is On! The Sacramento Claims Association Membership Committee is pleased to announce the Early Bird Membership Drive launch for 2017!

As of November 1st, current members may renew at a discount, and new members who join for 2017 will receive membership privileges for the remainder of 2016.

Annual membership dues provide a significant financial support to the organization. And, a strong membership helps to keep a non-profit like SCA viable and alive. Without all of us together there would be no SCA.

“This organization could not maintain the strong standing we enjoy today without the support of all our members,” stated SCA President Steve Moore.

5

The organization has worked diligently to continue to provide programs and events of interest and value to claims adjusters.

“We continue to encourage the carrier claims people and independent adjusters to participate, and to attend and become more involved,” Moore added.

“The Sacramento Claims Association is always committed to maintaining a high degree of professional courtesy within our ranks.”

In addition to the organization actively taking measures to continue to raise its standing within the community at large, the association has been building on its sphere of local charitable causes to support.

The SCA Board has opted to continue to offer annual FREE Memberships to insurance carrier adjusters (with an optional suggested $10 donation going to the charitable fund). Completion and submission of a simple membership application now allows all such claims people the benefits of membership.

Top Golf Social Outing Hits The November Sweet Spot!

Roseville, CA — The Sacramento Claims Association went up the road November 17, 2016 for a social gathering adventure at the latest fun sensation, Top Golf!

The gigantic multiplex super-driving range of the 21st century, which has become hugely popular since it opened in the Spring of 2015, made for a very festive venue for the

group activity. The party setting on the third floor was rich as six lanes of SCA members and guests made the most of the variety of high-tech games offered on the course. Organizer, Jason Kettlehut, was clearly pleased with the turn-out and with the good time folks had. “We hope to do this again soon,” he said.

Annual Low Ball & Lynch Sacramento Seminar Provides Breadth and Depth of Information

By Bryan Harrison

The Low Ball & Lynch annual Sacramento S eminar & Webinar, held Thursday, November 10, 2016

at the Hilton Sacramento Arden West, was chalk-full of the latest legal case law decisions affecting the insurance claims world.

Led by Christine Reed, firm partner out of the Monterey office, the event featured a four-part presentation that encompassed a three hour afternoon seminar.

The sessions included: a California Case Law Update from San Francisco office Associates Eric C. Fonferek and Leeh DiBello; Coverage Issues Update, with Partner from the San Francisco office, David Blinn; a look at Challenging Damages in High Exposure cases with Stephanie J. Krmpotic, Partner, San Francisco office; and finally, “A Humorous History of Asbestos Litigation”, which was a skit acted out in mock-trial fashion with SF Partners Guy Stilson and Vernice T. Louie, with a guest appearance by SF Associate Catherine E. Golden.

The event, which was simulcast as a Webinar, was followed by a nice cocktail reception immediately afterward.

Leeh DiBello and Eric Fonferek tagteamed on some interesting cases that have come down the pike of late. Ms. DiBello took the lead discussing one of the most interesting of those cases. She provided a detailed look at a negligence case, Janice H. v. 696 North Robertson, LLC (2016) 1 Cal.App 5th 586, involving a nightclub, sex and drugs... ok, drugs weren’t really a specific part of the case, directly, anyway.

The Hollywood nightclub in question had taken it upon themselves to post security guards at the entrance of a unisex bathroom. A young woman was

raped at a time when the guards had left their post. The facts of the case were intriguing, but the bottom line was that, because the club had taken the step to employ guards at that position, they were held responsible for the opportunity presented that led to the rape.

The final feature of the day, the mocktrial skit of an asbestos case, was not only amusing - a nice way to end a three hour seminar - but quite informative, too. The world of asbestos litigation, according to Guy Stilson, is a world of its own in the legal field. Regular rules and approaches often do not apply.

And, while many might believe that the end of the road with these cases must be near, there are many children of those originally adversely affected by asbestos contamination some fifty or sixty years ago that these cases could go on for years, he said.

The 2016 Low Ball & Lynch Sacramento Seminar was dynamic, informative, and covered a wide range of subject matter all in a relatively short time span. A video recording may still be available. Contact Christine Reed at 831-655-8822 or CReed@lowball. com for more.

David Blinn gave a thorough and pertinent Stephanie Krmpotic dealt with Challenging Damages in High Exposure cases. presentation on coverage issues.
