    While I have no issue with a representative of the insurance company being present, I do take issue with the requirement that they come with full policy limits authority or at minimum the authority to the plaintiff’s last demand. Many things can occur or be presented in mediation where a not so seasoned adjuster may not know how to evaluate or handle the situation. This is why we evaluate and give the adjusters authority prior to mediation along with the opportunity to call for more authority should some surprise be presented.

      yes, southern adjuster, why should the company have to send a representative who can settle the claim, or be seasoned enough to handle the situation? it just doesn’t seem fair. they should continue the ruse of sending robots who are told what they can offer before they even get there. I hope y’all can recognize sarcasm.

        Obviously you did not understand my point…I think my first comment was “I have no issue with a representative of the insurance company being present”. I think they should. However, requiring they come with full policy limits or at minimum the claimant’s last demand is would appear to be overstepping the bounds…and yes I can recognize sarcasm.
