Claims

American Modern, through its Specialty Insurance Services group, provides hands-on training to insurance adjusters at its 32,000 square-foot training center. The training center is set up to mirror a real-world repair shop where trainees can experience everything it takes to complete a repair claim. With the goal of reducing the need for reinspection, increasing the speed of claims resolution, and ensuring customer satisfaction with how claims are handled, this process was designed to ensure American Modern adjusters are confident in the accuracy of their estimates when assessing customers’ losses.

The American Modern Story

Midland Discount Corporation was founded in 1938 as an auto finance company. The company expanded in 1949 to offer mobile and manufactured-home financing and subsequently established American Modern in 1965 to offer mobile and manufactured-home insurance. As of today, the company has expanded to offer a full range of specialty-insurance products and, via its parent company, carries an A+ rating from the A.M. Best Company. After successfully growing to be one of the most widely recognized specialty insurance groups in the U.S., American Modern was acquired by Munich Re in 2008.
