Dan Baldyga has written a book that shines a bright light on the shadowy world of personal injury auto claims. The insurance companies are the ones that keep policyholders and claimants in the dark. They try their best to control the claims process. For the most part, they succeed…UNLESS a person buys books like this one. This book is somewhat wordy, but thorough, and that thoroughness is what you need. Great job, Dan!

I am 50 years old and until my accident I have never had a wreck. I bought this book on Amazon.com about a year ago and followed it religiously to settle my claim. It worked. Thought I’d share this with others.

Also, the book helped me see additional damages that I didn’t recognize previously. Just that alone would have been worth the price of the book. But the author’s Base Formula showed me how to figure out how much my claim was worth, and that saved me thousands. This is one book I won’t be loaning out, just in case I have another wreck.

I just finished reading this book which my mother got me for Christmas. I had an accident a few weeks ago and was beside myself with worry over it. I didn’t get hurt badly but my neck and back hurt a lot the next morning. My car wasn’t so fortunate, though.

I did lose time from work and had to rent a car. The worse part was not knowing what I had to do next. After reading this book it answered so many of the questions I had. There’s no way I would have known about some of them since I never had an accident before.

The only thing I didn’t see in the book, unless I missed it, is whether I should include my medical bills in the formula since they are going to be paid by the insurance company. The accident was the fault of the driver behind me.

I don’t know how anybody can ever begin to try and settle their own claim without a book like this. There’s SO many things you need to know.

Someone in a review below said that the book is only 50 pages. My book is 140 pages! And there’s a ton of information in it that tells me exactly what I need to do. I’m so grateful for this book.

My wife and I purchased this book some time ago as we prepared to settle our claim.

She had also bought a few others online and we spent quite a bit of time reading them all.

Each one had some helpful information, however, we both felt this book was the most concise and had everything we needed to know. I especially liked the fact that this particular author did not talk down to the readers, nor did he use the difficult to understand legal terms that some of the others did.

He took us step by step through the process, explaining what we needed to do at every turn.

Neither my wife or I had ever been through this wrenching process before. When we met with our adjuster we both felt a lot more confident thanks to this book.

I’m pleased to report that we just settled our claim for the amount we figured out with this book. It took some haggling, both on the phone and in person, but we held fast as the author said to do and we persevered.

For the benefit of others who find themselves like we did, struggling to learn the in’s and out’s of a claims process, I would recommend this book highly.

Review date : 2005-12-09
Understanding how the injury-insurance-settlement process works has been central to making the right decision’s in dealing with both our own insurance company, and the one who insured the person who hit my husband. The book was a great help to me.

This book is well written to the layman who is looking for non-technical writing to a technical subject.

Review date : 2007-04-10
I am just starting out in the insurance field as an Agent with no prior experience. During the time between making the decision to make the leap and actually landing a job, I dug every where I could looking for resources on everything that had to do with being a P&C Producer. By far, I would say this is one of the best resources for someone trying to get a good overview on how to think like one.

Of course, it is a bit cheerlead-y and full of narative, but quite honestly, it’s what I found charming. I needed something that could hit home to me and motivate me to keep trying at something that seems very difficult.

I would highly recommend it to those looking for a good read on the (human) aspects of Business P&C Insurance.

Review date : 2006-09-09
Most agents whether just beginning or experienced will find something helpful in this book. Baxter provides a fairly comprehensive look at the whole process selling commercial insurance. He gives plenty of sample letters and has quite an extensive appendix.

Some of the material and methodology was slightly dated, as can be expected. But, one should be able to use his approach as a good foundation for commercial sales. Baxter included a number of practical illustrations which most people will find helpful, but can be a bit tedious.

Perhaps the best part of the book besides the sample letters is his walk through the sales process from the first meeting, through the interview, during submission, and on to a final proposal. If you want to market commercial insurance this book will help you get started.

Review date : 2004-10-26
I am just getting started in my commercial P&C career. I do not even have my license yet, but feel a whole lot more comfortable talking to veterans of the industry. This is definitely not the end-all be-all of insurance books, but it is simple enough to get started with.

I started off with insurance texts and they were so dry that I could barely stay awake. After Insurance Commander I now have a grasp of the basic intricacies of the business. The only thing I would change about the book is the name (a little cheesy?).

Review date : 1999-10-06
Mr. Dunbar seems to speak from real life experiences where he had to overcome all the obstacles that doom many insurance sales. His categories of customer personality types, their typical complaints or objections, and the approach to winning them over is priceless. His stories are laced with wonderful humor that turns what could be deadly dull material into fascinating reading. Experience is the best teacher, but Mr. Dunbar has done the next best thing—-given a sales person some wonderful tools to avoid a bad experience.

Risk Management And Insurance

Product Description

For many years, introductory insurance textbooks presented insurance as a subject based in contracts. Slowly, the course has moved toward a consumer orientation, providing students with a broad, descriptive survey of the insurance field, covering topics such as legal aspects, life and health, and property and liability. Over the past 10 years, textbooks began to promote, and to a limited degree, incorporate a stronger business risk management component while maintaining a consumer orientation. Harrington/Niehaus’ Risk Management and Insurance 2e is written to take the next step offering the essential aspects of insurance contracts and the insurance industry while providing a substantially more conceptual analysis and attention to business risk management and public policy issues that exists in current texts..

Price : $8.84

 

Product Description

A valuable quick-reference fact-finder for agents, brokers, actuaries, underwriters, and ordinary consumers, this handbook defines approximately 4,500 key terms used in the insurance industry. Definitions apply to life, health, property, and casualty insurance, as well as to home owners and tenants insurance, professional liability insurance, pension plans, and individual retirement accounts.

Author Harvey Rubin, a Chartered Life Underwriter and Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter, opens with an overview of the insurance industry that points out the many financial instruments available from insurance companies to businesses, professionals and average consumers. He devotes the remainder of this book to definitions, descriptions, and examples that translate technical insurance terminology into clear, comprehensible English. Here is an enlightening and accessible business guide that deserves a place on every home bookshelf. The New York Times calls this book . . . helpful, particularly for employee benefit and retirement issues.

This book is a great tool for the insurance studies, the concepts are very clear and help you to have a better knowledge.

Review date : 2007-06-01
I find this a pretty complete reference book for someone new to the insurance side such as a young or new risk manager. The definitions are fairly indepth but still short and to the point. To critique the book severly, as some other reviewers have, I suggest reccommending another reference source, within your review, that is considered better. I would be most anxious to take a look at it since it would allow a fair comparison.

Review date : 2007-05-23
A better name for this product would be the Long-Winded Financial Terms Dictionary. Its pages are filled with non-insurance-related definitions for accounting, legal, and other financial-service terms. Worse yet, several key insurance-related terms that have come into existence in, say, the past century are not included. The only thing I have ever used this book for is to cite the author’s claim that U.S. citizens spend more money on insurance than any other type of expenditure - but that occurs in the preface. The terms themselves are unhelpful and incomplete, and the book’s pages are stuffed with filler.

Review date : 2006-01-30
The insurance industry has its own language. I have yet to come across a term that is not in this dictionary!

Review date : 2001-10-24
I have been in the insurance industry 15 years and just decided to buy this as an addition for my work desk. I rarely open the book, however, anytime I go to look up a coverage definition it is not listed. This book is of NO use to me. Not really sure who would use this………….a person who hands out maps at the Auto Club who may need to look up a word or two?
