1 26 - Transforming Insurance Claims Management with Innovative Negotiation Strategies with Cruser & Mitchell's Bill Mitchell 18:24
Your host, Chris Tidball, talks with the Founding Partner of Cruser & Mitchell, Bill Mitchell. Bill's story is a testament to the power of vision and determination. Growing up as a blue-collar kid in Detroit, his future was shaped early on by his father's aspirations for his children. Despite not having a high school diploma, Bill's father envisioned successful careers for his kids: an accountant and lawyer for his brother, a doctor for his sister, and a lawyer for Bill. This early direction set Bill on a path that leads him to law school and beyond. After graduating from law school in Detroit, Bill found himself in Atlanta, working for a law firm that represented police and sheriff departments through insurance companies. This was his unexpected entry into the insurance world. He spent a decade handling civil rights cases, which were as challenging as they were thrilling, dealing with issues like excessive force and jail class actions. Bill's career took a pivotal turn when he challenged the status quo in litigation management. He shared a story about handling a case for Hartford, where he managed to get a case dismissed with prejudice voluntarily, billing only $3000 compared to the usual $80,000 to $100,000. This success demonstrated the value of early evaluation and efficient execution, principles that would become the cornerstone of his approach to law. Bill's passion for negotiation led him to author "The Disruptive Lawyers: The Little Black Book of Litigation Management" and "The Disruptive Lawyers: Little Black Book of Negotiation." These books are based on his extensive experience and discussions with claims executives, focusing on the importance of strategic planning and execution in litigation and negotiation.

1 25 - Unleashing the Power of Negotiation: Insights from Insurance and Legal Experts with SECURA Insurance Companies and DunbarMonroe's Taylor Rawal and Chris Dunnells 10:07
Your host, Chris Tidball, talks with the Litigation Specialist of SECURA Insurance Companies, Taylor Rawal, and the Attorney of DunbarMonroe, Chris Dunnells. Taylor has carved a niche for herself at SECURA Insurance Companies, climbing the ranks from the call center to handling litigation files. Her expertise spans personal lines, commercial lines, and specialty lines, though she candidly admits that work comp is not within her purview. On the other hand, Chris Dunnells brings a wealth of experience as a civil litigation defense attorney, with a focus on insurance defense, particularly in trucking litigation and general liability cases. Like Taylor, work comp cases fall outside his domain. The conversation naturally gravitated towards the negotiation workshop that Taylor and Chris had conducted. The workshop was designed to arm attorneys and claims adjusters with advanced tools for negotiating both litigated and pre-litigated claims. Chris underscored the fact that while these professionals may possess basic negotiation training, the workshop was tailored to refine those skills with a laser focus on claims defense and litigation management. Taylor shed light on the psychological aspects of negotiation, emphasizing the significance of understanding claimants' needs and managing emotions. She pointed out that gathering information and conducting discovery must be balanced with an appreciation for the human element involved. Chris chimed in, noting that a common hurdle for many is the discomfort with negotiation and a reluctance to adapt their negotiation style. The million-dollar question that was tackled was how to negotiate a claim to achieve the best outcome. Taylor and Chris explored the notion of creating win-win situations, where both parties walk away satisfied. They debunked the myth that the best deals leave both sides unhappy, advocating instead for settlements where all parties feel justly compensated for the injuries sustained.

1 20 - The Impact of Increasing Insurance Limits on Owner-Operator Truck Drivers with OOIDA's James Luce 10:45
Your host, Chris Tidball, talks with the Senior Claims Counsel of OOIDA, James Luce. OOIDA stands out as a unique organization dedicated to representing the interests of truck drivers. Unlike the Trucking Insurance Defense Association (TIDA), which focuses on trucking companies, OOIDA is committed to individual truck drivers whether they are company drivers, lease owner-operators, or independent owner-operators with their own authority. This distinction is crucial because it ensures that the specific needs and challenges of drivers are addressed and advocated for. Trucking regulations are notoriously complex, and they can vary depending on the nature of the trucking activity. While some regulations are state-specific, the federal government predominantly oversees trucking due to the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution. This is where OOIDA's expertise becomes invaluable. The association provides truck drivers with access to knowledgeable individuals who can assist with understanding and complying with these regulations, without the need for membership. From licensing and permits to insurance, OOIDA is a lifeline for drivers navigating the regulatory landscape. To learn more about James's work, click HERE and HERE .

1 19 - The Bottom Line Impact: Recovering Missed Third-Party Deductibles in Commercial Insurance with Paragon's Sean Garret 8:48
Your host, Chris Tidball, talks with the VP of Business Development of Paragon, Sean Garret. Sean's path to the insurance sector is as intriguing as it is inspiring. Transitioning from the hospitality industry, he found his niche in insurance, where he now plays a pivotal role at Paragon. His story is a testament to the dynamic nature of career paths and how skills from one industry can translate into success in another. One of the main topics Sean discussed was the concept of third-party deductibles. Unlike the first-party deductibles we're accustomed to in personal auto insurance, third-party deductibles introduce a receivable environment in commercial policies. This means that every time there's a claim, the insured owes a deductible to the carrier. Sean illuminated the complexities of this system, including the challenges in identifying, invoicing, and recovering these deductibles. A critical point Sean emphasized was the need for seamless communication between claim systems, policy systems, and recovery systems. This triad is essential for the efficient management of deductibles. Without it, carriers and insureds alike can face significant hurdles. To learn more about Sean's work, click HERE and HERE .
