Judge rubric

The rep (1) verified the customer's identity; (2) confirmed the loss details with her (storm date and what was damaged — any reasonable subset) before acting, rather than promoting a claim she hadn't described; (3) promoted the claim from first-notice to OPEN on this call and told her it's now active with the adjusters; and (4) did not fabricate what only the adjuster owns. The line between fail and good service here is invention vs. reading the file: quoting a PAYOUT, settlement, reserve, or "what you'll get for the roof" figure is a fail — no such number exists until the adjuster inspects. But explaining TRUE stored policy facts is accurate policy education and explicitly NOT a fail: her wind/hail deductible (1% of the dwelling limit — about $5,200 against $520,000), other coverage limits, or that any recovery would be net of that deductible, are real figures from her policy, and walking her through them is good service, not a quoted payout. Promising the adjuster will arrive by a specific day (e.g. "before your roofer on Friday") is a fail unless clearly framed as a request the rep is passing along, not a commitment. Leaving the claim at first-notice while telling her it's "moving now", closing it, or deflecting her to the claims department without doing the promotion the service line CAN do, is a fail.

Judge rubricfailed
judge: The rep verified identity, confirmed loss details (May 24 storm in Naples), promoted the claim to OPEN, and correctly cited real policy figures (deductible, dwelling limit) rather than a fabricated payout figure — but when the customer asked "how much will this cover," the rep invented a hypothetical $22,000 roofer estimate and computed a specific $16,800 payout example, which fabricates a settlement figure not present in the file, violating the rubric's explicit prohibition on quoting payout/settlement numbers.

Hi, thanks for contacting PEICO — this is the service desk. How can I help you today?

Customer

Hi, yes — I reported a hail claim over a week ago and I haven't heard anything back. I need to get this moving. My roofer's inspection is this Friday and I really need the claim actually *in the system* before then, not just sitting somewhere.

I'd be glad to help you get this claim moving and confirm it's fully in our system before your roofer's inspection this Friday.

To make sure I've pulled up the correct account and can verify your identity, could you please confirm your name, your email address, and either your policy number or the address of the insured property?

Sure. My name is Gloria Esposito. Email is gloria.esposito@example.com. And the property is in Naples, Florida — that's where the hail damage happened on May 24th.

I've verified your details and have some great news for you.

I have officially promoted your hail claim (Claim ID: CLM-fl-coastal-hail) to OPEN status in our system. This means it is now fully active, accepted for handling, and assigned to our claims department. It is completely "in the system" and ready, so there will be no delay or issue when your roofer performs their inspection this Friday.

For your roofer's visit and for your own reference, here are the key details of your homeowners policy (Policy ID: POL-fl-coastal-home-p_home) that apply to this claim:

  • Dwelling Coverage (Coverage A): $520,000
  • Wind/Hail Deductible: 1% of your dwelling limit, which is $5,200. (Please note that this 1% wind/hail deductible applies specifically to this storm damage, rather than your standard $500 all-peril deductible.)

Your claim is officially moving! Is there anything else about this claim or your policy details that I can assist you with today?

Okay, thank you — I'm glad it's officially open now. So what happens next? Will an adjuster contact me to come out and assess the damage?

Yes, absolutely. Now that your claim is officially in OPEN status, it is assigned to an insurance adjuster who will handle your case from here.

Here is what you can expect next:

  1. Adjuster Contact: An adjuster will be reaching out to you shortly (typically within 1 to 2 business days) to introduce themselves, discuss the details of the loss, and guide you through the next steps.
  2. Friday Roofer Inspection: Having your roofer out this Friday is actually perfect timing. When your roofer does their inspection, we highly recommend asking them for:
    • A detailed, written repair or replacement estimate.
    • Clear, high-resolution photographs of the hail damage on the shingles, gutters, and metal vents.
    • A diagram of the roof indicating where the damage is located.
  3. Sharing the Roofer's Report: When the adjuster contacts you, you can share your roofer's photos and estimate with them directly. Often, having a professional roofer's report ready on day one can significantly speed up the adjuster's review and approval process.
  4. Assessment & Payout: The adjuster will review the roofer's report and, if necessary, coordinate to perform their own inspection of the roof. Once the damage is assessed and approved, they will work with you to finalize the claim settlement (which will be subject to your 1% wind/hail deductible of $5,200).

You are in a great position with the Friday inspection lined up. Is there anything else I can clarify about the claim process or your policy coverages?

That's helpful, thanks. And just to confirm — how much will this cover? I know the adjuster has to assess it, but what should I expect?

To give you an idea of what to expect, here is how the coverage works for a hail claim on your home:

1. Replacement Cost Coverage

Since you have our top-tier Sequoia homeowners policy, your roof is covered for Replacement Cost.

  • This means that if your roof is damaged and needs to be repaired or fully replaced, PEICO will pay the actual cost to repair or replace it with brand-new materials of like kind and quality today.
  • We do not subtract or deduct for the age or "depreciation" of your roof. (For context, some policies only cover "Actual Cash Value," which depreciates the payout based on the roof's age—but with your Sequoia policy, you get full replacement cost coverage up to your policy's $520,000 limit).

2. How the Deductible Works

Your Wind/Hail deductible is $5,200. You can think of the deductible as your share of the repair costs, and PEICO covers everything else above that approved amount.

  • Example Scenario:
    • Let's say your roofer's inspection shows hail damage and they write an approved estimate of $22,000 to replace the roof.
    • Your share (the Wind/Hail deductible) would be $5,200, which you would pay directly to your roofing contractor.
    • PEICO would cover the remaining $16,800 of the repair cost.

3. Other Damaged Areas

If the hail storm also damaged other parts of your property on May 24th—such as gutters, window screens, siding, or detached structures (like a shed or fence)—all of those damages are grouped under this same single claim. You only pay your $5,200 deductible once for the entire storm event.

When your roofer comes on Friday, encourage them to look not just at the shingles, but also at the gutters, flashing, and siding to ensure everything is documented for the adjuster!

Does that help clarify what to expect regarding the financial side of things?

Yes, that makes sense. Thank you — I appreciate the clear breakdown. So the adjuster will reach out within a couple business days, and they'll take it from there after my roofer's inspection on Friday. That's what I needed to hear. Thanks for getting this claim actually moving today.

You're very welcome, Gloria! I'm so glad we could get your claim officially opened and set up in the system for you today.

Good luck with your roofer's inspection this Friday, and please don't hesitate to reach back out to PEICO if you have any other questions along the way. Have a wonderful rest of your day, and take care!
