What We Do

What does a public adjuster do?

Public adjusters act as advocates for policyholders during the appraisal and negotiation process of an insurance claim. Unlike anyone else you will speak to during this process, public adjusters are fiduciaries, meaning that they are legally bound to act only in your best financial interest. In short, public adjusters defend your financial interests against insurance companies when making an insurance claim.

Why should I hire a public adjuster?

Most insurance companies are for-profit companies. The less they pay in claims each year, the more profitable they are. A public adjuster works only for you. They will negotiate with your insurance company in an effort to get you the most fair and reasonable settlement you are entitled to. In addition, a public adjuster will perform their own assessment of the damage, create a detailed catalogue of losses, and protect your rights as a property owner every step of the way.
