Expertise:
Celebrating 30 years in the industry, Paulette Jacobsmeier is a dynamic and highly experienced structured settlement consultant. She has handled thousands of cases and built a strong, nationwide network of claim professionals, attorneys, mediators and other industry specialists. But the most important thing she has done is build trust. Tempering considerable expertise with a rare ability to speak to the human side of the issue, Paulette works hard supporting defendants and their insurers to mitigate risk; and most importantly, to help injured people put their lives back together, even if only financially.
Experience:
Paulette has extensive experience in commercial, general, product and auto liability, workers’ compensation, construction and medical malpractice claims. Since joining Arcadia Settlements Group in 2006, the depth of her expertise has reached further into the specialized area of non-qualified transactions, including sexual torts, New York Labor Law 240 and structured attorney fees.
In the liability practice arena, she has worked with various national carriers and self-insured companies. Paulette is an approved structured settlement broker for carriers such as Chubb, Allstate, AIG, IAT, Berkshire Specialty, CNA and AXA XL.
Paulette believes strongly that fully educating all participants during the settlement process leads to informed decisions. An enthusiastic presenter, Paulette is frequently sought after for speaking engagements and training sessions, including CE courses, on topics ranging from “Structured Settlement Basics” to “Economic Loss Analysis,” and “Structured Settlements in the New Economy.”
In 2015, Ms. Jacobsmeier became one of the first practitioners in the country to earn a Master Certificate in Structured Settlement Consulting (MSSC) designation from the University of Notre Dame and the National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA). Paulette is a graduate of Loyola University with a B.A. in Business Administration.
Combining her interest in philanthropy and fitness, Paulette is the founder of Arcadia’s annual “5K Walk, Wheel or Run” which is now an annual event that has raised over $10,000 for charity since its inception in 2009.
