ClaimsTalk.com Offers Free Advice on Auto/Home Insurance Claims

    ATLANTA, Dec. 13 -- Driven by the desire to provide the
public with information and help in settling their insurance claims, a group
of former insurance adjusters have created ClaimsTalk.com.  The Web site is
the first and only interactive service that allows anyone with an automobile
or homeowner's claim question or dilemma to seek help and advice.
ClaimsTalks.com will evaluate your specific situation and send you in the
right direction.
    "Our goal is to assist and educate the public.  We help them receive a
fair settlement, without feeling like they are being taken advantage of by the
insurance company," said Valerie Riley, President of the firm.  She added that
the company wanted to be sure the site would be easy to navigate and use, as
most of the visitors to ClaimsTalk.com are stressed and overwhelmed as a
result of the accident or claim.
    If it is determined that a person should seek legal assistance,
ClaimsTalk.com locates and interviews an attorney for the customer, ensuring a
competent legal representative is selected.  ClaimsTalk.com also recommends
premium body shops and medical facilities throughout the U.S.
    "In essence, we are a free 'turn-key insurance service,'" said Vice
President John Hanson.  "Anyone can come to us and feel confident that they
have people with superior experience on their side."
    According to one of ClaimsTalk.com's customers, the company's services
were invaluable.  "After my accident, I wished I had someone help me
understand what to do.  The insurance company was trying to lowball me and I
felt trapped," said Stephanie Royal of Jacksonville, Florida.  "ClaimsTalk.com
gave me the information I needed to increase my settlement by $2,000."
    The Web site features several links including Attorney Referrals,
Certified Body Shops, Trusted Medical Facilities, Department of Insurance
Listings and easy-to-use questionnaires to communicate with the staff of
claims experts.
    "Ignorance is not bliss in the insurance game.  What makes ClaimsTalk.com
different is that we are dedicated to providing impartial information to
people who need help, as our staff is not affiliated with any insurance
company," said Riley.  "Our operation is open 7 days a week and 24 hours a
day.  We promise a quick response to your inquiries."
