Which               of               the               following               statements               about               claims               in               insurance               are               true?

More               than               one               answer               may               be               correct.
               (a)               For               many               insureds,               the               insurer's               claim               adjusters               are               the               only               insurer               representatives               with               whom               the               insureds               have               contact               after               the               policy               has               been               issued.
               (b)               If               a               claim               goes               to               trial,               the               claim               adjuster               typically               manages               the               insurer's               defense               counsel.
               (c)               Insurer               claim               offices               are               usually               centralized               in               one               location               so               as               to               enable               rapid               coordination               among               the               various               offices.
               (d)               Independent               adjusters               are               best               used               for               small,               routine               claims,               on               which               the               insurer               should               not               expend               the               time               and               resources               of               its               specialized               internal               staff.
               (e)               Many               insurers               employ               independent               adjusters               as               a               part               of               their               normal               business               operations.
               (f)               Higher               levels               of               claim               settlement               authority               are               typically               granted               to               insurer               employees               and               representatives               on               the               basis               of               seniority               -               i.e.,               length               of               time               spent               with               the               company.
               (g)               The               claim               adjustment               process               for               property               and               liability               claims               focuses               on               essentially               the               same               attributes.
               Solution               S5-63-1.

This               question               is               based               on               the               discussion               in               Myhr               and               Markham,               pp.

8.40-8.41.

The               following               answers               are               correct:
               (a)               For               many               insureds,               the               insurer's               claim               adjusters               are               the               only               insurer               representatives               with               whom               the               insureds               have               contact               after               the               policy               has               been               issued.


               (b)               If               a               claim               goes               to               trial,               the               claim               adjuster               typically               manages               the               insurer's               defense               counsel.


               (e)               Many               insurers               employ               independent               adjusters               as               a               part               of               their               normal               business               operations.
               Choice               (c)               is               not               correct;               insurer               claim               offices               are               typically               located               in               close               proximity               to               policyholders,               so               as               to               enable               easier               provision               of               service.
               Choice               (d)               is               not               correct;               independent               adjusters               are               often               used               for               complex               claims               that               require               specialized               expertise.

Some               independent               adjusters               may               specialize               in               handling               certain               types               of               claims               for               which               the               insurer               lacks               internal               expertise.
               Choice               (f)               is               not               correct;               higher               levels               of               claim               settlement               authority               are               typically               granted               to               insurer               employees               on               the               basis               of               responsible               use               of               authority               that               had               already               been               granted.

Experience               with               the               company               may               be               a               factor               that               is               considered,               but               strict               seniority               considerations               are               seldom               used.
               Choice               (g)               is               not               correct;               there               are               considerable               differences               in               the               claim               adjustment               process               between               property               claims               and               liability               claims.

Property               losses               are               primarily               objective               and               relatively               straightforward               to               quantify.

The               largest               component               of               liability               losses               is               subjective               -               e.g.,               losses               due               to               "pain               and               suffering"               and               similar               harms.
               Problem               S5-63-2.

               3.

"Against               what               causes               of               loss               does               the               insurance               protect?"
