Fallen Trees, Rising Claims: The Adjuster’s Guide to Impact and Removal Webinar

As storms increase in severity nationwide, the likelihood of handling claims that involve tree-related damage to properties also grows. But predatory pricing practices and a lack of standardized safety guidelines in the tree care industry can complicate the logistics of extracting trees and debris from a property.
By attending the CE-eligible webinar Fallen Trees, Rising Claims: The Adjuster’s Guide to Impact and Removal on Wednesday, April 15, at 2 PM ET, you’ll learn about various factors that lead to downed trees and how to navigate the nuances of tree-related property claims. Alpine Intel Technical Education Trainer Kevin Huelsman will also cover:
- How high-wind-producing events can damage trees and the method used to measure wind damage
- How to distinguish between specialized tree removal work and debris removal, including the scope of work and necessary equipment for each process
- The characteristics of hardwood and softwood trees and common issues for each tree type
- How to handle and identify predatory billing practices among tree care providers
He will then share case studies that cover standard and complex tree removals to help relate the information you’ve learned to real-life scenarios.
