Description

Do you settle auto cases? This is the book you need to maximize your settlements. Aaron DeShaw, the nation’s leading expert in the Colossus claim system, teaches you how to maximize claim value in the 70 percent of auto cases evaluated by bodily injury claims software. The book details how these programs are used by sixteen of the Top 20 auto insurance companies in the US, and how the programs determine settlement offers even after litigation is filed. DeShaw combines expert legal and medical guidance that assists you in maximizing the offers that these systems generate. The key to higher claim value is knowing what case "factors" the computer system is using to increase claim value, and how to provide the evidence for those claims. The book contains an exhaustive list of the insurers known to use these programs, and the most extensive list available of the "factors" that the programs use to determine case value. DeShaw provides the format and step-by-step procedures on writing demand letters formatted for claims assessment software. The book also provides insight on the five categories that insurers break claims down into, and discusses other important claims issues such as the Minor Impact Soft Tissue and Special Investigations Unit and how these impact your cases. This book has not been available since 2007, and Trial Guides is pleased to bring a fully revised 2011 edition back to its customers.
