Nobody likes to be accused of mistakes. Imagine the panic and fear that an assessor can feel when served with the law, alleging errors, negligence, fraud and counterfeiting often resulting in one of the professional services. If you ever find yourself in that position, we recommend that you take a deep breath to pleas not to try and personally report to the insurance company for sound legal advice.
A “statement” does not have to start with a lawsuit. Often begins with a nasty letter or phone call from someone questioning their assessment or conduct and asks you to do something or pay them some money.
Sometimes, “claims” begins with a complaint to the state licensing board. Who thought that you made a mistake you want to see what the Board considers before deciding to make a legal suit. Or, maybe that person or company wants the board to do an investigation, so they do not have to spend time and money doing it for them.
