“ I am very pleased to see our property division grow into it’s own with solid productivity. We’ve added some key personnel and will be soon to be adding a Property Director during the first part of 2009. Our key niche this past year has been our client-centered focus on manufactured home claims which primarily involved roof and water losses. Our cycle time and damage adjusting product surpassed any competitors in the industry.” Stated AutoClaims Direct / American Property Claims CEO Ernie Bray.
“A great benefit property claims offices gain from using our property division is the fact all of our claims are processed right online and accessible to adjusters 24/7. We provide real time data, complete file viewing and storage along with statistical analysis.” Added Bray.
"We can provide an array or reports that matches our auto division’s." Data such as our 2008 fixed property loss information shows that when a vehicle hits fixed property, the average loss severity was $3,487. This includes losses such as vehicles hitting restaurants, parking garages, fences, mailboxes, office buildings and homes. On the other hand, the average loss severity for manufactured homes during 2008 was $3,246 per file .
