Insurance Life Premium Reitze readily recalls any number of claims where David Morse & Associates fraud investigators and adjustors employed dogged legwork, quick thinking, and expertise to keep their clients from being defrauded and help honest consumers in the process.

Different insurance companies can give the same driver wildly different car insurance quotes. Why Insurers make their money by collecting premiums from hundreds of thousands of customers, and paying out benefits to the relatively small number who make a claim. They aim to collect more in premiums than they pay in claims, to cover their costs and make a profit. It is slightly more complicated than that, but that's the general principle.

Health Insurance Policy In one instance, a David Morse & Associates investigator was assigned to a person alleging total disability who happened to live in a rural farming community. The investigator was inventive in locating the residence of the man, but when he was not at home, the investigator had to turn to townspeople for help. The investigator was told that the "disabled" claimant was building a house in a nearby town. Reitze points out with pride, "Although the investigator was required to videotape the man, he found himself in the midst of fields, with no place to hide his vehicle. Using his imagination, he staged a vehicle breakdown on the side of the highway, and managed to capture video of the man bouncing around over rough ground on a tractor and manhandling bales of hay. Thanks to the inventiveness of the investigator, the videotape was enough to end the disability claim of the farmer."

Health Insurance In another situation, a David Morse & Associates truck adjustor found himself at odds with the California Highway Patrol. After a tractor-trailer collided with a van and overturned on a Los Angeles freeway, the CHP made a determination that the rig had been speeding. Although the adjustor knew that the truck had an engine governor that prevented it from speeding, the CHP wouldn't budge, exposing the trucking company to a million-dollar liability suit. The relentless adjustor duplicated the conditions with a replica truck and load, and had a CHP expert ride along, which convinced the CHP that the truck wasn't speeding. Following his suspicion the van was actually backing up on the freeway when it was hit, the adjustor consulted with David Morse & Associates' reconstruction engineer. His theory was confirmed when the lab discovered the telltale signs of stretched filaments in the van's taillights, indicating that the van had been in reverse and the backup lights were on at the time of impact. Because of the adjustor's diligence, the million-dollar claim was arbitrated for a relatively small amount.

Whole Life Insurance Policy As an example, a truck driver was making a turn and didn't see a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The truck screeched to a halt, but the man was knocked backwards and struck his head on the pavement. The David Morse & Associates adjustor arrived on the scene quickly, only to find passersby surrounding the man trying to get him an attorney. Although the man refused ambulance services, the adjustor could see that he was shaken and concerned. The adjustor quickly came up with a solution and drove the pedestrian to the Emergency Room himself. Moreover, the adjustor arranged for the client's Safety Director to pay for the $2,000 medical bill. The pedestrian was given a clean bill of health and was pleased with the outcome and attention he received.
