This course fulfills the state requirement that adjusters complete an Ethics course. This first of three modules deals with the basics of ethics as applicable to the insurance profession, stressing various characteristics of behavior that makes ethics the highest standard as opposed to law, which is the minimum standard. We then examine need for insurance regulation and the applicability of state or federal insurance law and the unfair claims settlement practices acts and other deceptive trade practice acts.
