Sentry Claims Group: Disrupting Insurance Industry with JoTo PR

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas earlier this month, resulting in a death toll over 30 and billions of dollars in damages before heading up the coast to the Carolinas. The timing was eerie for residents in North and South Carolina as they prepared for Dorian. Only a year prior, Hurricane Florence wreaked havoc there when it made landfall last September. Now, many are predicting Humberto, a potential Category 3 hurricane, will reach Bermuda later this week[1]. With what seems to be an unending stream of hurricanes, is there ever a way to truly prepare? Or for that matter--recover? Sentry Claims Group, nationwide independent insurance adjusters, knows the importance of healing communities in the face of extreme loss.

Severe destruction is rampant in the Bahamas now—over $7 billion in damages were reported[2]. After a catastrophic event like this, excessive manpower is needed on the ground to help assess and rebuild. Steven Steckler, CEO of Sentry Claims Group, says technologies are being used to process claims with more speed, but there is no hi-tech replacement for empathy when dealing with damaged communities.

"Having a personal connection in the claims adjusting process is essential," Steckler said.

With the addition of drones, AI and Virtual Reality to the insurance industry, Sentry Claims Group leads the way with an unwavering adherence to Agent compassion training. Sentry Claims Group Claims Adjusters work directly in the field after natural disasters to help assess damages for the top 10 insurance companies in the USA. Since they are on the frontlines, they note the importance of maintaining a personal touch when working with people who are often experiencing insurmountable loss. "As more technologies like drones and apps exist to aid efforts, Adjusters need to maintain sensitivity in order to truly make an impact on damaged communities," says Steckler.

Karla Jo Helms, CEO of JoTo PR, recognized the integral, multifaceted role of Sentry Claims Group in society when they signed as a client in June.

"Sentry Claims Group seamlessly balances new claims technologies with an understanding of what truly makes a difference in challenging and often heartbreaking times. Their human-centric philosophy and adherence to their values, with the integration of new technologies, has made them an industry leader," Helms said.

Sentry Claims Group is headquartered in Lafayette, La. They are the leader in providing independent property and casualty claims adjusting services for both catastrophic events and daily claims. Founded in 2014, Sentry is built on the core values of best-in-class service, immediate action and unwavering reassurance—they are committed to helping communities and businesses rebuild their lives in the wake of natural disasters. Sentry's Claim Adjusters have been on the ground floor of some of the most major catastrophes that have hit our country in the past decades.
