Southern United Fire Insurance Company Selects eAutoclaims

OLDSMAR, Fla., Oct. 22, 2003 -- eAutoclaims (BULLETIN BOARD: EACC) today announced that it has secured an annual contract with Southern United Fire Insurance Company. eAutoclaims will provide its national network of body shops to process Southern United Fire Company's automobile physical damage claims. The program will run on eAutoclaims' online eJusterSuite(R) claims application.

eAutoclaims' President/CEO, Eric Seidel, said, "Southern United Fire is a good fit for our outsourcing application. The contract will allow them to take advantage of our experienced shop network and also allow Southern United Fire to use our Service Partners, such as our national Independent Adjusters network, Salvage partners and others, all at the click of their mouse." eAutoclaims' Service Partners program enables carriers to manage their loss adjustment expenses through national contracted pricing and shorten cycle time.

Southern United Fire Insurance Company operates in the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. Richard Murray, President and CEO of Southern United Fire Insurance Company, said, "I am pleased that this contract had been struck, as Southern United has already lowered its average paid loss by $100.00 per claim during the test period. We are also taking advantage of the network of Independent Adjusters and flat rates pricing model, as well as the national shop network -- both are lowering of our Loss Adjustment Expense. It's just good business."
