ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CLAIMS SERVICE users, claims of volunteer laborers, etc. In handling these types of claims, one must consider "mass psychology" in the sense that what you do for one person may well set the trend for what you must do thereafter for all others. During our involvement with oil spills/ environmental pollution occurrences, we frequently have been utilized as a coordinator in regards to coordinating the activites of cleanup, claims, public relations and legal. All of these elements must be closely coordinated rather than each going their separate way. Because of the political and economic impacts of oil spills, only the most experienced adjusting personnel should be involved. One reason is that improper handling of an oil spill could lead to a Class Action which otherwise might have been avoided. If you are confronted in the future with a major or minor environmental pollution occurrence, please call us and we will promptly, adequately and economically take care of your environmental pollution claims problems.

We here at the Edison Water Quality Research Laboratory feel that your contributions to the conference were very pertinent and cause us to realize the insight and value that hard experience can lend to such a symposium. I hope that you benefited from the conference as much as we learned from your involvement. Again, thank you. Sincerely yours, Step Daul Stephen Dorrler Chief, Oil Spills Branch |
