Wonderful 2014 at EBCA Gearing-Up To Top It In 2015

2015 January message from 2014-’15
EBCA President, Joe Baughman
I have to say, this year feels like it flew by! We had a
wonderful year here at EBCA. We made some great
headway on bringing some Hot Topic CE Courses
to our venue, along with some great speakers with
some new topics. With this brings new members and
a greater ability for EBCA to help the community
with additional education and donations throughout the year.
WOW!! What a great way to end the year. EBCA had its annual holiday
party on December 5th. Did you get a chance to see the Grinch? Thank you
to all the outstanding sponsors, the guests that did not hesitate to give, and
the committee that put it all together. This year EBCA was able to donate
$5,000.00 to the Bay Area Crisis Nursery. The attendees gave another $355.00
directly to the nursery along with bundles and bundles of toys for the children.
For more information and how to become more involved with the BACN
please visit www.bayareacrisisnursery.org. A huge THANK YOU to:

East Bay Claims Association News Network • January 2015
Join or Renew Your EBCA Membership Now for 2015!
The 2015 East Bay Claims Association Membership Drive is now
in full swing! Annual membership do provide a significant financial support to the organization. And, a strong membership
helps to keep a non-profit like EBCA viable and alive. Without
all of us together there would be no EBCA.
“We really appreciate all the support this organization has
enjoyed the past several years,” stated EBCA President Joe
Baughman. Overall membership
and meeting attendance has been
consistent and substantial. Still, the
sense that there aren’t many adjusters at any given function remains
pervasive.
“As with all our sister groups, we continue to encourage the carrier claims
people and independent adjusters
participate, and to become more involved,” Joe added. “East Bay Claims
Association is always committed to
maintaining a high degree of professional courtesy within our ranks.”

The organization has been actively taking measures to continue to raise its standing within the community at large, as well.
As an established charitable 501c(3) non-profit organization,
EBCA has added the status of the Continuing Education Provider credential to the reasons to be more involved.
There seems to be a bit of a revival of carriers supporting their
claims people joining and supporting their local associations.
The EBCA Board has opted to continue
to offer annual FREE Memberships
to insurance claims adjusters. Completion and submission of a simple
membership application now allows
all such claims people the benefits of
membership.

Kick-Off The New Year With EBCA
Staples To Return for Annual
Case Law Review
Join the EBCA for the first luncheon meeting of the New Year!
Wednesday, January 14, 2015
featuring returning guest speaker
William Staples
Archer Norris
Known for his courtroom command and credibility, William H. Staples is
a veteran defense litigation generalist. He heads the litigation group for
Archer Norris, and resolves complex disputes and achieves numerous
defense verdicts and cost-effective settlements.
He represents businesses, employers, manufacturers and their insurance
carriers. He will return to the EBCA Wednesday, January 14, 2015 to kick-off
the new year with a return to his annual case law review.
For the past three decades, Mr. Staples’ practice emphasis has included
product liability, construction defects and disputes, employment and commercial litigation, premises liability, toxic torts and catastrophic injuries.
Elevator and escalator injuries are a special practice focus.
Representative achievements include minimizing a $360 million product
liability class action for a national window manufacturer and prevailing
before the Supreme Court of California on a housing discrimination claim.
The firm web site states: “Bill positions cases to refute plaintiffs and achieve
early resolution, managing the critical investigation process and expert
teams. He presents compelling evidence before judges and juries and in
alternative dispute resolution forums, often achieving favorable results
in cases with unsympathetic defendants and challenging fact patterns”.
In addition to being a long-time supporter of the East Bay Claims Association, Bill has been a member of the executive council and is currently
the national membership chair of Association of Defense Trial Attorneys,
a selective professional network of highly respected attorneys viewed as
“one in a million.”

ELECTRONIC RESTORATION SERVICES EXPANDS TO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Andrew Titley, Owner/President of ERS San
Francisco Bay Area, brings his background in
High Tech Sales to a new service in our area.
Andrew tells us, ERS handles “Restoration of
both commercial and consumer electronics and
appliances. Document freeze dry services.”
Additionally, he says, ERS provides “Full
pack-out and delivery, including large appliances. We also do music instruments, exercise
equipment, arcade games, etc. We restore at
38% or less of replacement value.” And, he
says they offer a “One-year warranty on our services”.
Serving primarily the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, Andrew says that
actually includes as far south as Monterey, North to Petaluma, and east to
Stockton and Sacramento.
Andrew spent some time fully evaluating business opportunities before
deciding on ERS. Being local to the San Francisco Bay Area , and ERS
seeking a franchisee in this market, made for a great fit.
First starting this past July, he says, “We continue to be referred by both
our partners and customers”. And, as a note of the level of expertise with
which they work, he tells us “we have restored an entire professional music
studio, with over 80 electronics”.
“Andrew brings both business and technical knowledge along with great
enthusiasm and detail orientation to his business. A great asset to the ERS
team,” is the word from ERS home-base.
Outside of his work world, Andrew says he enjoys “Cycling, skiing, travel
and coaching my childrens’ teams.”

“The DNA of Fire Investigations – NFPA 921 – Sword or Shield ” This program utilizes
visually compelling fire cases to illustrate effective forensic fire investigations. The discussion evolves to the discussion of the evaluation of the expert and their findings.The insurance claims professional’s responsibilities extend beyond the technical ability to resolve
issues of: coverage, liability and damages. The process of investigation, evaluation and
resolution is one that relies on good judgment to discharge their contractual responsibilities to their customers.The insurance claims professional’s responsibilities include the
demanding challenge of evaluating the technical abilities of experts. The investigation,
evaluation and resolution of coverage, liability and damages require good judgment to
discharge their contractual responsibilities to their customers. They aren’t expected to be
experts. They are expected to use good judgment in evaluating experts.
