ADJUSTERS

Overview

RULE:

69B-220.051

Conduct of Public Adjusters

PURPOSE:

The proposed rule establishes a presumption that the statutory requirement that a public adjuster provides “prompt notice” of a claim to an insurer is satisfied if notice to the insurer is given within 5 business days after the date on which the contract for adjusting services with the insured was executed. Requiring public adjusters to notify insurers of claims within a specified time period will assist insurers in the assessment and timely settlement of such claims.

SUBJECT:

Timely Notice of Claim to Insurer by Public Adjuster: “Prompt Notice.”
