Listenbee Lawsuit Update 3/19/2018

[Hoosierfrog]

I'm by no means an insurance expert, and maybe in the last 10 years or so (that's how old my information is) all this has changed.

Adjusters are given settlement ranges for the sorts of claims that they handle routinely. Records are kept of average settlements paid, and median settlement amounts.

Promotions, bonuses, and job retention are based to a large and in some situations exclusive extent, on where those average payments are in relation to the appropriate ranges and to a lesser extent in relation to median settlements paid.

In other words, an adjuster may be working in a job where, if he settles for an average of 50% of his range (just a hypo), all is sweet with his employer. If, on the other hand, the settlement average is higher, there may be no promotions or bonuses. To close to the top of the settlement range, and the adjuster is looking for work.

So don't tell me that adjusters aren't rewarded for favorable settlements. They are.

For someone that is not an expert you sure seem to have a lot of detail. I did a lot of work with these people and never heard such stories and they loved to gripe about pay to anyone that would listen.

I never heard of bonuses for settling claims, in fact it was my understanding the state board of insurance frowned upon it. Even if they did get any bonuses, anything insurance companies might have paid out would be pretty meager. The only people making money for insurance companies are the slimy people at the top. If you ever see an adjuster driving a BMW there’d likely be an investigation.

But regardless, if we are talking about profiting we are talking water melons to peas when comparing lawyer money to anything an adjuster might make. Just an absurd comparison.

Want to make a small fortune?

Start trading currencies with a large fortune.

Very similar to my investment maxims:
1. Best way to make a million $$....start with two
2. Keep investing till it’s gone

Hey, driving BMWs doesn't really mean anything, other than you know they are paying a fortune in repairs and maintenance.

It also means you don’t know what a turn signal is

We use our turn signals. Sorry if you are way behind us when we use them!

Point being? You're still a hater. You must drive a MB.

What’s the old. BMW joke about the difference between Cactus and Beemer drivers? Cactus has the pricks on the outside?

What it might mean is you either paid too much which takes means or you are buying a beater thinking it impresses someone.

This entire Listenbee fiasco is a classic illustration of how to perpetrate a fraud.

No, I'm someone that enjoys driving in a way that you are connected to the road. There aren't many affordable street legal options for that, but BMW is one. Especially with a twin turbo, road hugging model.

I also appreciate that gravity keeps my GMC connected to the road...

I’m wounded!

Are you sure you are old enough to drive?

I guess you expect me to respond with, “I know you are, but what am I!”

At least it gave us some great bmw jokes.

I used to drive a 10 year old 530i with a baby V-8, sweet ride & power to spare. Then I got handed the bill for my daughters braces.
Sold the car & bought a scooter. Rode that to work for over a year (one of those cold but no ice/snow Texas winters) from Trophy Club to work at Ryder on 170. No I did not ride it on 170, that’s stupid, went thru Roanoke & industrial park then crossed over 170.
Easy choice & Emily has beautiful smile now.
