I've told this story before because it illustrates one of the most hazardous adjuster mistakes: undisclosed principalship.
I was assigned a claim from an out-of-state insurer to handle an accident for one of their insureds, whom I will call Mrs. Detroit. My assignment sheet said the name of the insurance company was MEEMIC. I was new and had never heard of the “Meemic,” so I called Mrs. Detroit and drove out to meet her.
I knocked on the door and this nice lady opened it. I said, “How do you do? I'm Ken Brownlee and I represent your insurance company, the Meemic.”
