INSURANCE: Provides for unfair or deceptive trade practices relative to reports of adjusters
This bill updates the list of unfair insurance claims practices to include a specific requirement for insurance adjusters. It directly affects insurance companies and their adjusters by mandating that they provide the original repair estimate to a policyholder upon written request. If the estimate has been changed, the bill also requires the company to identify who made those revisions. This change aims to increase transparency in the claims process by ensuring customers have access to the initial assessment of their property damage.
