What loss transfer means
In New York, Arbitration Forums describes loss transfer cases as cases filed to recover no-fault payments made to an injured party as a result of an accident or occurrence involving certain vehicles, such as vehicles over 6,500 pounds unloaded or vehicles-for-hire used principally for transportation of persons or property.
Who uses loss transfer arbitration?
Loss transfer is generally an insurer-to-insurer or intercompany reimbursement process. It is not the same as a medical provider filing AAA no-fault arbitration for unpaid bills. Arbitration Forums states that mandatory arbitration applies to insurers, self-insurers, and compensation providers for covered controversies.
