Public Adjuster FAQs
Hiring a Public Adjuster
What is a public adjuster?
A public adjuster is a professional who represents a policyholder in preparing and negotiating a property insurance claim, subject to licensing, law, and the written agreement.
Who does a public adjuster work for?
A public adjuster works for the policyholder, not the insurance company.
When should I hire one?
Property owners often request a review when the loss is large, the file is complex, the scope seems incomplete, the claim is denied, or insurer communication is difficult.
Public Adjuster FAQs
Fees
How do public adjuster fees work?
The fee and scope should be disclosed in a written agreement before services begin. Ask what applies to your claim and review the terms carefully.
Is the initial claim review free?
Yes. The initial claim review offered through this website is free. Any later service proposal should explain its terms in writing.
Public Adjuster FAQs
Claim Process
Can you speak with the insurance company for me?
Insurer communication can be part of a public-adjusting engagement, subject to the written agreement and any required authorization.
Do I need all my documents before calling?
No. Call with what you have. We can identify the policy, estimate, photographs, invoices, or reports that may still be useful.
Will you inspect the property?
A property inspection may be an important part of evaluating and documenting the loss, depending on safety, access, claim stage, and the engagement.
Public Adjuster FAQs
Existing Claims
Can you help if I already filed my claim?
Yes. We can review an active claim, the insurer's estimate, payments, communications, and the documentation available now.
Can you help after repairs have started?
Potentially. Pre-repair photographs, removed-material records, contractor proposals, change orders, invoices, and mitigation files can help preserve the earlier conditions.
Public Adjuster FAQs
Denied or Underpaid Claims
Can you help with a denied claim?
We can review the denial letter, policy, evidence, and claim file and help present additional factual support when appropriate. We cannot promise a reversal.
Can you guarantee a higher payment on an underpaid claim?
No. We can identify and document scope or estimate differences, but the result depends on the policy, facts, and insurer review.
