What is a public adjuster?
A Public Adjuster (PA) is a licensed professional who advocates for the policyholder in negotiating an insurance claim. Unlike adjusters working for insurance companies, a PA works exclusively for the claimant, ensuring that the policyholder has a much better chance of receiving the maximum settlement for their claim. Here’s how a PA can assist you:
-
Claim Evaluation: Assess the extent of property damage and estimate repair costs.
-
Claim Management: Handle all aspects of the claim process, including filing paperwork and communicating with the insurance company.
-
Negotiation: Engage with the insurance company on behalf of the policyholder to negotiate a fair settlement.
-
Documentation: Compile and organize detailed evidence and reports to support the claim.
benefits of using a pa:
-
Increased Payouts: Studies show that claims managed by Public Adjusters typically result in higher settlements.
-
Detailed Understanding: PAs’ knowledge ensures every aspect of the damage is accounted for, preventing undervaluation.
-
No Upfront Cost: PAs typically take 10% of the claim money once it is approved. If the claim isn’t approved (which is unlikely), you owe nothing.​​
​
If you use them ahead of time, they will help decide if a claim is the best course of action. They can prepare how to go about filing the claim. The sooner you get a PA involved the better the outcome.
Risks of Not Using a PA:
-
Undervalued Claims: Without a PA, you may miss out on the full compensation you deserve.
-
Overlooked Damages: Insurance companies may overlook or undervalue certain damages, leading to insufficient payouts.
-
Increased Stress: Managing the claim process alone can be stressful and time-consuming.
