Public Adjusters are trained and experienced in measuring property losses and adjusting insurance claims and are the ONLY adjusters licensed to represent an Insured. Often times, the biggest mistake an Insured property owner makes is failing to retain a competent and experienced Licensed Public Adjuster BEFORE the insurance company is in control of the claim with its allies and legal team. Many property owners believe the insurance companies adjuster works for them. Only after considerable frustration and the inability to achieve the desired results does the insured then turn to the Public Adjuster to remedy what has already become a bad situation. The good news is the Public Adjuster can still help at this stage, although they may be unable to reverse all of the damage that has been done and which may have been avoided had they been obtained earlier. Hiring a Public Adjust will help you retain a favorable settlement from your insurance company without the lengthy and costly litigation process involved with hiring an attorney. An attorney typically comes in at the end of the settlement process and is forced to deal with the difficult situation that has already resulted. A Public Adjuster should be called immediately PRIOR to filing your claim, DURING your existing claim, or to REOPEN your settled claim in order to help you attain the proper settlement that is your right according to your policy. The Public Adjuster will help make sure your claim is PROPERLY documented. Don’t make the common mistake of believing the insurance company’s adjusters and attorneys are representing you and working on your behalf. A Public Adjuster is truly on your side and working to get you a favorable settlement from your insurance company.
