Cummings is committed to exceptional service even when a literal fire is raging. This was the case when he answered his cell phone while on vacation in San Diego a few years ago. A client’s warehouse was literally on fire. Cummings coordinated with his team that Saturday morning and raced to Phoenix where he met the claims advocate and client while the warehouse still burned. Through his team’s efforts, the client received a full recovery and was able to get back to business within a few short months.
