1 We Should Talk: How to (Not) Spend More Time With Your Lawyers
Presented by: Craig M. Capilla 181 Waukegan Road, Suite 205 Northfield, IL 60093 Phone: Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

2 What are we Doing Here? CREDIBLE: worthy of belief.
Comment: Credible assignment results require support, by relevant evidence and logic, to the degree necessary for the intended use. Craig’s Comment (Not Found in USPAP): So why should I believe you? Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

3 Location: Earth Be concise but instructive.
Sometimes, to say nothing, really is to say nothing. Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

4 Snapshot in Time…less Words matter – appropriate words matter more!
Proofread and update at regular intervals (Quarterly? Semi-annually?). Get a reader. Read it again. Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

5 If You’re Going to Do Something, Do It…
“Because the client wanted it” does not waive USPAP. Understand whether the request adds to, or detracts from, credibility. Educate the client accordingly. When in doubt, do it right and explain why it is (not) relevant. Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

6 I Do Not Think That Means What You think That Means
You will be judged by your application of the appropriate methodology and your ability to support your conclusions. Also by making sense. Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

7 Know Your Limitations Use Language to Help!
You may not contradict pre-printed form language, but you can expand on it in certain circumstances. Don’t forget, your report is not a contract, but it can clarify terms for the reader. Also use your own engagement letter when possible. Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

8 See Something, Say Something
Check your policy language regularly Know your requirements. Know what you are and are not covered to do. Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018

9 Ounce of Prevention… Support each other. Know your insurance broker.
Know your lawyer(s). Develop relationships early. Do something! Accurity Valuation Conference March 2018
