The Claims Adjuster’s Toolkit 3 Ways Insurance Companies Mislead You They won’t recognize the full scope of your medical needs. Even if you have complete documentation of your medical requirements and the associated costs following an injury, an adjuster may claim your medical charges are too high. They may tell you they will compensate you for your medical bills, but then offer less than you really need. Adjusters may go as far to say they looked into what various health care providers charge for certain treatments in your area and will compensate you accordingly, but it can be difficult for you to verify the accuracy of these claims. They won’t discuss the fine print about your coverage or benefits. It’s always important to know exactly how you are covered. Too many people with insurance do not know the full scope of their coverage. Many adjusters are not going to walk you through your coverage and benefits line by line. They’ll leave it up to you to know. You may assume you have specific coverage — such as underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage — only to discover after a car wreck that you don’t, which can put you at a disadvantage. Always read the fine print of your policy and review it annually. of bowling! Anyone can score high, but comparing your Wednesday night league average to a pro is like comparing the score from your pickup game of soccer to the scores at the World Cup.

This takes time and dedication to perfect. Find Monetary Support Unlike many other professional sports, bowlers make very little money. The average bowler makes more than $40,000 annually, but they often have to provide their own funds for lodging, travel, and tournament entry fees. Some professional bowlers even have side gigs to supplement their income from the sport. However, many bowlers admit that it’s not about the money. Instead, it’s the friendly competition and the glorious sound of the pins that bring them back for more.

Bowling is a fun activity for all ages, and the game has been providing good times since 5,000 B.C. in Egypt. In modern history, bowling has had its fair share of glory, but if you think you have the aptitude to join the ranks of professional bowlers, then consider what it takes to become the best of the best. Join the Pros The Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) and the Professional Women’s Bowling Association (PWBA) are the premier leagues for professional 10-pin bowlers in the United States.

We all know insurance companies work hard to avoid paying anyone who deserves compensation following an accident. When you get in a car wreck and hop on the phone with an insurance adjuster, their goal is to get you to accept the lowest dollar amount possible as part of your settlement. These professionals are trained in a number of tactics to get you to agree to their terms. Here are three examples. They will tell you that you don’t need a lawyer. Insurance companies love it when claimants settle without a lawyer. It makes their job quicker and easier. However, if you mention that you are thinking about hiring an attorney, they may tell you that most of your settlement will go to pay that lawyer and you will be left with much less or nothing at all. This is very misleading. A study by the Insurance Research Council found that, on average, those who hired an attorney received 3 1/2 times more money than those who settled alone.
