Ensuing Loss Explained: Steven M. Bush on Coverage, Causation & Policy Language   Attorney Steven M. Bush of Merlin Law Group delivers a deep training session on one of the most misunderstood areas of property insurance claims: ensuing loss, concurrent causation, efficient proximate cause, and anti-concurrent causation language. This session was part of the "Mastering the Art of Public Adjusting" class provided by United Claims Professionals, hosted by Jack Hanks, with the recording sponsored by ShieldWolf Strongholds. In this training, Steven M. Bush explains why public adjusters must do more than simply identify damage. They must understand how the policy language works, how exclusions operate, how coverage can be brought back through ensuing loss language, and how different jurisdictions may treat the same facts very differently. This session covers: • What "ensuing loss" really means • Why the excluded cause may not be the end of the coverage discussion • How to read policy language with purpose and intent • The difference between ensuing loss, concurrent causation, and efficient proximate cause • Why anti-concurrent causation language can change the entire claim analysis • Florida, Texas, and Illinois distinctions • Why Texas claims often require careful damage allocation • The role of weather forensics, photos, intake forms, and investigation • Why public adjusters must know the policy before arguing the claim Steven also shares a practical highlighting system for reading insurance policies, including how to identify coverages, exclusions, endorsements, post-loss obligations, and key restrictions. This is not a beginner-level conversation. It is a "meat, not milk" training designed for public adjusters who want to sharpen their craft, protect policyholders more effectively, and understand how coverage decisions are shaped by policy language, facts, causation, and jurisdiction.

In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, host Galen Hair is joined by veteran public adjuster Jack Hanks to discuss a controversial piece of legislation that could dramatically reshape the public adjusting industry.   Kentucky Kentucky House Bill 568 proposes sweeping changes, including a freeze on new public adjuster licenses, a strict 5% fee cap, and limitations on what adjusters are legally allowed to do during the claims process.   Galen and Jack break down what the bill does, why it could make it nearly impossible for public adjusters to operate profitably, and how similar legislation could spread to other states.   Highlights: • What Kentucky House Bill 568 actually proposes • Why a 5% fee cap could eliminate most public adjusting work • How freezing licenses would prevent new adjusters from entering the profession • The impact these changes could have on homeowners and policyholders • Why small insurance claims would become nearly impossible to represent • How legislation like this often spreads from one state to another • The growing tension between insurers and claims advocates • Why industry professionals must monitor legislation in their own states • The importance of industry unity and raising professional standards • What it means to truly "level up" and protect the future of the profession   Episode Resources: • Connect with Jack Hanks • https://unitedclaimsprofessionals.org/ • Connect with Galen M.

There's two different people Home Inspectors often get mistaken for: appraisers...and adjusters. Jessie Hernandez is the second one: a public adjuster from The Lone Star State! So in this episode, we explore the differences between public adjusters and insurance adjusters, the role of public adjusters in advocating for policyholders, and the importance of understanding insurance policies. The conversation also touches on how homeowners find public adjusters and the evaluation process they follow during claims. And since we so often get confused for each other, we get into the intricate dynamics that exist in the cross-over between public adjusters and home inspectors. Jessie also shares his journey from aspiring home inspector to public adjuster. We've all got one thing in common, though... we love bourbon

Andy Gurczak is the Founder and CEO of AllCity Adjusting, a public adjusting firm dedicated to securing fair insurance claim settlements. With over a decade of experience, Andy has shielded thousands from insurance fraud and boosted their claims' value. His family's principle, "If you're going to do something, do it right or don't do it at all," flourishes through his firm's advocacy for property owners. Specialized in complex claims like fire, water, and hurricane damage, Andy and his team work across over 35 states.  In this episode… Navigating property insurance claims can feel like an uphill battle, especially when facing denials, underpayments, or confusing fine print. Too often, policyholders accept the first offer without realizing they could be entitled to much more. So how can property owners make sure they're not leaving money on the table? According to Andy Gurczak, a seasoned public adjuster and expert in maximizing claim payouts, the key is understanding how insurance companies operate and knowing when to bring in a public adjuster. He highlights how insurers often use vague or technical loopholes to reduce or deny claims. Public adjusters act as advocates, ensuring claims are documented properly and negotiated aggressively. By getting involved early, they can reshape the outcome of a claim and recover tens or even hundreds of thousands more than initially offered. Andy explains how timing, wording, and knowing the system can make or break your settlement. In this episode of The Same Day Podcast, host Mat Zalk is joined by Andy Gurczak, Founder and CEO of AllCity Adjusting, to talk about how public adjusters help property owners win bigger insurance claims. Andy explains why claims get denied, how early involvement changes outcomes, and what documents and terms can make or break a payout. He also gives advice on how landlords can protect rental income during lengthy claim processes.

Following the devastating fires in California, I kept hearing story after story of Pacific Palisades residents having been dropped by their insurance company just a few months before the deadly fire. The same thing happened this past fall in Florida – Floridians couldn't afford their increased premiums, so when Hurricane Milton hit – they had no coverage. In fact, Florida insurance rates have gotten so high that people are beginning to leave the state - insurance premiums, in some cases, surpassing their mortgage payments. Insurance companies also get away with underpaying or slow-paying the insured… leaving people helpless and hopeless.Thankfully, there are people out there like my next guest, Chip Merlin, Founder and President of the Merlin Law Group. Chip has dedicated his practice to representing and advocating for the insured in disputes with their insurance companies nationwide.Chip has been called the “Babe Ruth of Hurricane lawyers” and “Master of Disaster” for his nationwide catastrophe work in helping policyholders after Hurricane Katrina. The Florida Association of Public Adjusters awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award for his advocacy on behalf of policyholders. He is on the Board of Directors of United Policyholders, has been a guest commentator on CNN and Fox News, and is also past Chair of the Insurance Bad Faith Litigation Group of the American Association of Justice. In this episode, Chip and I discuss the state of the insurance crisis in the US, from California to Florida to NY, and what we, the insured, can do to protect ourselves from insurance companies' malfeasance, and what our state governments should do to protect the insured over the insurers.   To protect your property and your family, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

This week I had the great pleasure of sitting down with retired LEO and Air Force Veteran, Doug White. Doug recently authored, "Hiding In Plain Sight- The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward" . We discussed his career and life, the failures, and more importantly the lessons learned. Doug is paying it forward in a meaningful, impactful way. Sit back and give this episode a listen and come away a better version of you for doing so. More About Doug:My journey spans over 30 years of service as a veteran and law enforcement officer—a journey filled with both triumphs and profound challenges. Like so many in these fields, I encountered the heavy toll that trauma can exact on the mind, body, and spirit. My breaking point came one night, alone on a midnight shift, behind a school with my hand on my pistol, considering an irreversible option.But I was saved by grace, by the unwavering love and strength of my wife, and by her faith in God. That moment didn't just pull me back—it set me on a new path. A path not focused on trauma, but on growth, resilience, and transformation.Today, I'm the founder of Tell This Story LLC, an organization dedicated to empowering veterans, first responders, and their families. My mission is to help others grow beyond the struggles we often face in silence. It's not about living in the shadow of our trauma or retelling the same story over and over—it's about the hard work of becoming better, transitioning into a healthy and fulfilling life after service, and embracing the strength that comes from being honest and vulnerable.I wrote 'Hiding in Plain Sight: The Truth About Trauma, Service, and the Way Forward' as a cautionary tale, sharing my personal and professional journey, but more importantly, as a message of hope. I believe in the power of owning our stories—not as victims, but as victors. Through authentic storytelling, I aim to offer a safe space for others to share their experiences, ask for help, and find healing and growth....  SHOW SPONSOR -ON TARGET CLAIMSThis episode is being brought to you by "On Target Claims" - From Setback to Settlement On Target Claims is a team of certified and experienced Public Adjusters in Florida who have helped thousands of insured get the maximum amount for their residential, commercial, wind, water, fire, hurricane, mold, yacht and marine claims.We have the knowledge and experience to properly investigate all potential damages including all of the hidden damages that may not be obvious to the untrained eye. Since insurance companies are notorious for conducting haphazard damage investigations using preferred contractors to determine your loss our claims adjusters will create an accurate inventory of every item that was damaged so that we can prepare a detailed computer generated estimate to substantiate the true value of your loss and get you the settlement you deserve.https://www.ontargetclaims.com561-208-1775954-329-0399Thank you for taking the time to give this podcast a listen.

I connected with Sean and Dan through LinkedIn and was immediately impressed with their background, mission, and commitment to this first responder community. Sean O'Keefe and Dan Barzykowski  are the founders of HERO LINK. What is hero link? It's basically a high tech version of a "dog tag" that has all of your medical, emergency, and related information made available to emergency responders with just a tap from your device. The device comes in two forms, a wearable around your wrist or a card that can be placed anywhere on your person. When seconds count, what a way to give attending medical professionals and first responders all the information they need to treat you which directly  increases the odds of you making it back home to your family. I absolutely love this concept and initiative. We discussed the early days, and how this device is saving lives. Ridiculously affordable, $20-25, one time fee for the actual device. Give the gift of a second chance. Agency leaders, shift supervisors, special unit leaders, this is a way you can show your people that you care about them. Instead of buying the squad or agency another knife or pen with a little light, buy them something that will actually be used to keep them alive.
