Javier speaks at various insurance industry annual events and teaches continuing education courses to insurance professionals and attorneys representing insurance carriers, as well as professionals representing policyholders. Javier was appointed Liaison Counsel by the Eastern District Federal Court in New York to assist in resolution of Hurricane Ike claims to assist the Federal Court in resolving thousands of Hurricane Sandy Claims.
Here is an excerpt from an article from the Asbury Park Press where Javier was asked to present on a panel to help Hurricane Sandy victims understand claim details:
Panel Helps Sandy Victims Understand Claim Details
Raising concern after she hadn’t heard from her insurance adjuster in more than a month, Javier Delgado, the attorney on the panel, told her to keep writing letters to put them on notice and keep documentation of everything. He warned storm victims against walking away from a claim when the insurance company is delaying, explaining that’s what companies want.
Delgado also warned victims to look closely at checks, explaining insurance companies can include wording that settles a claim even if that isn’t the victim’s intention. If they need help, they should hire a public adjuster or attorney to get the claim they deserve, he said. “You really do need to be proactive. You need to stay with a claim. It will eventually get resolved,” Delgado said.
