5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd Read it Sooner
I just finished reading 'Claims, How to Collect Insurance Money Without a Lawyer' and wish I had read it sooner. I am a single parent school teacher and a couple of years ago one of my sons was involved in an accident that was totally the other driver's fault. I relied completely on my insurance salesman to advise us on what was fair, just and due my son. Now, after...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough info. on injury claims.
Mr. Smith gives good information on how to negotiate for the best car claim, but he is very misleading on how to settle a personal injury claim. He also is very biased for the insurance industry and only tries to steer you toward a small claim. If you want to know about a personal injury claim, this book in't for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title and Nothing New Under the Sun, August 25, 1999
This review is from: Claims: How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer (Paperback)
The publicity blurb made me think this book would help with a homeowner claim. There was nothing in the book but discussion about car accident claims. It was a complete waste of my money and time. The author rambled and repeated himself a lot. If he had been more concise and organized the book could have been written in 20 pages instead of 170. I am sorely disappointed, and would have been even if I had been looking for info on car accident claims.

2.0 out of 5 stars Claims How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer, February 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Claims: How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer (Paperback)
Good if you need a "cheerleader". There are no forms or checklists to help you with your task so you are still on your own. Wording the claim letter is the big task and this book provides no help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd Read it Sooner, January 3, 2000
This review is from: Claims: How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer (Paperback)
I just finished reading 'Claims, How to Collect Insurance Money Without a Lawyer' and wish I had read it sooner. I am a single parent school teacher and a couple of years ago one of my sons was involved in an accident that was totally the other driver's fault. I relied completely on my insurance salesman to advise us on what was fair, just and due my son. Now, after having read this book I discover that we settled considerably short. Both physical recovery and financial recovery were challenging for my son, and I know now it should not have been quite so difficult.

Actually, the greater value of this book to me is that it serves as a wonderful primer for understanding my own insurance. I had no idea how truly uneducated I have been. At this time I am not involved in any insurance claim nor litigation, but should I be involved in an accident, I will certainly have a strong foundation in understanding what I should do and in the terminology being used. Also, the next time I renew my policy I will do so with a great deal more intelligence.

The book is a fast read and is organized in such a way as to make returning to look up any particular topic quite easy. As soon as I finish typing this review I plan to call some friends of mine to recommend the book to them.

Thanks to the useful information in Gordon Smith's book, I made $1500.00 on an auto insurance claim. It's easy to understand every subject in this book. I'm a satisfied customer. THANK YOU!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lucky Day For Me, November 24, 1999
This review is from: Claims: How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer (Paperback)
It was a lucky day for me when I found the book called Claims; How to collect insurance money without a lawyer. I found the book listed on the publishers website. Although my claim was not of the million dollar variety, this book made it possible for me to collect and organize the information and how to deal with the insurance company's representative to bring my claim to a successful and satisfactory conclusion. This book is easy to read, easy to understand with directions and suggestions which are simple to follow. Claims was fun to read and I recommend it to anyone involved in an insurance claim whether they have a lawyer or not. I'm happy to see it listed on Amazon.com.

1.0 out of 5 stars There is better information in other places, September 22, 2004
This review is from: Claims: How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer (Paperback)
I found the book incomplete for my purpose. I had bought several books about this to SETTLE MY OWN CLAIM. There was not as much information on property damage or what to do when you have a CAR ACCIDENT.

I had more valuable information from the Car Accident Secrets book. I was able to settle my claim easily by following the steps right out of that book. It was also less expensive !! The website for Caraccidentsecrets.com is (http://www.caraccidentsecrets.com) It had a lot more valuable information which helped me a lot more. I used the book on that site to help me settle my claim without a lawyer. It also teaches you more do's and don'ts and also has REAL examples of claim settlements. The book also gives you FORMS and simple steps to follow. I would recommend that one instead plus its a lot cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help Has Finally Arrived!, June 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Claims: How To Collect Insurance Money Without A Lawyer (Paperback)
After much difficulty, I finally feel prepared and secure about handling my insurance claim. The book provided detailed information about my responsibilities and about all materials I need in order to negotiate and settle my claim. The book is easy to read and the author makes you feel as though he is sitting there talking to you. I recommend this book to anyone who is presently involved in a claim or anyone who carries insurance and may one day be involved in an accident.
