Jan. 27, 2014—I-CAR announced recently that Liberty Mutual Insurance has been recognized as an Insurance Gold Class business at the corporate level for quality training of its appraiser staff.

“I-CAR applauds Liberty Mutual Insurance for achieving Gold Class status at the corporate level,” said John Van Alstyne, I-CAR CEO and president. “As the industry prepares for a tsunami of new vehicles containing new technologies and materials, insurance businesses that commit to ongoing training will be well-positioned to deliver strong appraiser performance and better customer service over time.”

With the addition of Liberty Mutual, Insurance Gold Class businesses now number eight.

To maintain Gold Class status, insurance companies must continue to train their appraisers every year so that they further expand their knowledge and stay current with changing vehicle technologies.
