Chris & Jeff, thank you for the great work your team does for ASBPT! While I have felt this way since day one and our members sing your praises, it is great to hear from a non-biased party. Please congratulate your team as well for their hard work and persistence.

The Claim Supervisors and staff demonstrate good claims handling ability and they have substantial experience in handling complex and detailed liability claims. The staff has remained extraordinarily stable within Claims Associates; most of the staff has extensive tenure with Claims Associates.

Investigation historically has always been a real strength for Claims Associates and the review confirms those findings. Their claim investigative skills are adjusting at its finest. Four out of eight files involved field investigative work. The investigations were all in-depth and pursued until all avenues were explored.... All eight files contained a clear analysis of liability in the claim notes and captioned reports.

Thank you for your great service.... I don't get many of these (comments below from agent), it's nice to know we have the right people assisting us. ".... stopped in today and said an adjuster stopped by. ...said he was a very nice guy and he was very satisfied with their service. ....nice to have a customer make a special trip to stop and tell you they are satisfied."

Claims...roundtabled allowing for review and consensus on the issues. The adjusters are not only performing field investigations they are attending depositions, settlement conferences, mediations and trials..."

(Regarding Ethan Kellett, Multi-Line Adjuster in Rapid City office) I also thought I would pass along that David had nothing but praise for you.  Indicated that you are excellent at your job and probably the best/easiest adjuster he has worked with.  Feels like you are making sure we are being properly taken care of.  

You are both making this process easy for us and I do greatly appreciate that.

“Ever since my first interaction with Kim (Rausch) which was the phone message, I have told my colleagues how helpful she was starting with how quickly she contacted me after receiving my paperwork. With how helpful and concerned she has been since, I have been telling my fellow staff members that if they ever get hurt at work, which I hope they don’t, but if they do, to ask to have Kim appointed to their claim.  I have dealt with a workman’s compensation claim before many years ago and it was not a very quick or stress-free process.  I guess the whole purpose of this email is to thank Kim and to let her supervisor know that she is very appreciated.  To many times supervisors just deal with the negatives during their day and I just wanted to share something positive.”
