[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Dmitry Lipinskiy shares his insight into the book, Defying the Odds written by Engr. David V. Day, a registered professional engineer in Texas State. The book captures a twist and an intriguing account of how the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), and its agents carry out their jobs in a manner that sidelines ethics and conducts. The book exposes a witch-hunt of contractors who run contrary views to the TDI officials and how the TDI Officials punish them.Engr. David in his book draws personal experiences and encounter with TDI officials and how they allow power to slip into incompetent and corrupt hands. Though the book is a gripping tale of unfairness challenged in a legal battle; it is also the book that changes the law. In his interview with Dmitry, Engr. David reveals how Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) came to be as a residual insurer of last resort which demands a certification of every house by a licensed engineer and TDI technical employees.The tech employees are those who go out to inspect building construction and appoint Engineers to be on their list, thereby exercising power of control over the engineers including the power of audit. Unfortunately, the abuse of power becomes high. For instance, with the power of audit, they make their own rules and subject people to outrageous punitive audit. Engr. David disclosed how he spent $100,000 just to remain on their list of appointed engineers. The book also criticizes TWIA for their unwillingness to pay insurance claims in timely manners when there are major disasters. Defying the Odds is a must-read for roofers and anyone who has issues with insurance claims. The book changed how TDI and its agents treat engineers in Texas.
