Question 1

Who pays for a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

Technically, the policy holder pays the public adjuster, but most public adjusters charge a percentage of the final settlement. This means it is in the public adjuster’s best interest to get the policy holder the largest settlement possible. Though it might seem counterintuitive to pay a third-party when you are trying to maximize your compensation, the chances you will be treated fairly are increased when working with a public adjuster.

Question 2

Who pays for a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

Technically, the policy holder pays the public adjuster, but most public adjusters charge a percentage of the final settlement. This means it is in the public adjuster’s best interest to get the policy holder the largest settlement possible. Though it might seem counterintuitive to pay a third-party when you are trying to maximize your compensation, the chances you will be treated fairly are increased when working with a public adjuster.

Question 3

Why do I need a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

Insurance companies have adjusters working on their behalf and you deserve the same. A public adjuster interprets your insurance policy to determine what coverage you are entitled to and provides an analysis of the losses. Essentially, they are ensuring that you are treated fairly by the insurance company and that you get what you deserve. They might also have access to resources that can help you better support claim.

Question 4

Why do I need help in filing an insurance claim?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to file your insurance claim on your own, but it is not advisable. This is because the average policyholder does not have the resources or experience that insurance company representatives have. As a policyholder, you deserve to have someone in your corner protecting your rights and ensuring you receive the compensation to which you are entitled. And because insurance policies are often complex and ambiguous, it helps to have someone with knowledge to help you sort through the details.

Question 5

Will you help me receive a more prompt and satisfactory settlement?

Accepted Answer

Public adjusters do everything they can to ensure that policyholders receive a fair settlement as quickly as possible. Working with a public adjuster might extend the period of time it takes to ultimately settle your claim because of negotiations, but it will shorten the period of time it would take to negotiate a fair settlement on your own. Insurance companies want to settle for as little as possible as fast as possible and this results in cheating policyholders. Public adjusters protect against this.

Question 6

What type of claims do you handle?

Accepted Answer

We are able to assist you in with claims related to a variety of different types of damage to your property, including fire and smoke, water damage from flooding or plumbing issues, sinkhole damage, and damage from weather or wind. If any type of manmade or natural disaster has caused damage to your property, it is a good idea to speak to a public adjuster so they can determine if your policy covers the damage.

Question 7

My insurance claim is underway and I received an offer from my insurance company but I’m worried that the settlement amount is too low. Is it too late to hire a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

No, it is not too late. As a matter of fact, you should have someone review the offer to make sure it is fair. If it is your first offer from the insurance company, chances are it is much lower than what you deserve and a public adjuster can help you determine a fair amount you should be seeking. A public adjuster can also help you negotiate the claim settlement and quickly settle the claim for the maximum amount.

Question 8

Will I get a higher settlement if I hire a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. It is in the best interest of the public adjuster to get you as large of a settlement as possible because they receive their payment as a percentage of your settlement. Though working with a public adjuster does not guarantee a higher settlement, it increases the odds of getting one and ensures that the settlement you ultimately receive will be fair and based on the compensation you are entitled to as a result of your policy.

Question 9

What is the difference between a Public Adjuster and the insurance company’s adjuster?

Accepted Answer

The primary difference is that a public adjuster is your advocate while an insurance company’s adjuster is working for the insurance company. Though it might seem as if the insurance company’s adjuster is in your corner, they are not. He or she is an employee of the insurance company and will do everything possible to protect the insurance company’s bottom line. A public adjuster is there to ensure you are treated fairly and that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.

Question 10

Will I lose my coverage if I hire a Public Adjuster?

Accepted Answer

No. Hiring a public adjuster is perfectly legal and a perfectly normal thing to do. Insurance companies know that policyholders are entitled to working with their own adjuster, but it is not something they are going to encourage. However, they are not able to punish you by dropping coverage or increasing your rates if you choose to work with a public adjuster, even if they would prefer you not do so.
