About DMA Claims Services David Morse & Associates was founded by David Morse in 1979 in Los Angeles, CA, as an independent adjusting and investigations firm. The focus from the beginning was on providing consistent, high quality service. This is still our focus – we are totally committed to delivering a high quality work product on time.
In the 1980s we grew slowly, opening offices one by one around California,
and eventually DMA became the largest adjusting firm in California with
Since the 1980s DMA has provided auto appraisals as part of its service offering. This grew over the years into a full Material Damage division that does appraisals, desk reviews, and the specialized handling of total losses. Our appraiser network has steadily grown and is now active in a number of states.
In the 1990s David Morse & Associates formed its Third Party Administration division. Since then we have handled over 150,000 private passenger auto claims as a TPA, and many thousands of residential property claims. This division also specializes in the handling of commercial programs, including commercial auto. It handles claims for carriers, self-insured companies and public entities. Claims are administrated nationwide out of regional centers in Los Angeles and Battle Creek, Michigan.
In 2006, David Morse & Associates acquired Insurance Servicing and Adjusting Company (ISAC), headquartered in Weston, Florida and with branch offices throughout the southeastern United States. The acquisition enhanced our presence as a property TPA, added field adjusting offices throughout the Southeast, and added to our capacity as a catastrophe claims services provider.
In 2006 we adopted the name DMA Claims Services to encompass all the services being provided to the insurance industry and self-insured entities. David Morse & Associates continues to be the name of our core independent adjusting and investigations business.
