What is a Public Adjuster?
In a nutshell, a public adjuster is an insurance claim advocate for the policyholder. A Public Insurance Adjuster advocates for you, the policy holder, and NOT the insurance company. The insurance company has their own adjusters that look after their own interests, and a public adjuster looks after your interests.
But wont my Insurance adjuster will give me what I need?
Our experience tells us this is unlikely. Insurance Company adjusters work for, report to, and are paid by, the insurance company. Insurance companies are businesses, and they too look after their own bottom line. We find that often times they opt to repair items when replacement should be given.
An average policyholder working alone with an insurance company adjuster can be like a person going to settle a lawsuit without having their own lawyer. Policyholders need this kind of professional representation.
If I hire a Public Adjuster, and I have to pay a percentage of my recovery, then I will then be short money?
This could be the biggest misconception, especially since our recoveries have often doubled the initial amount offed for a claim. For example, a Condo complex in Tamarac initially wanted to hire us to help them with their insurance claim but felt our fee would take away from their recovery amount. They decided to negotiate their insurance claim for almost a year and they only recovered $500,000. They felt they were shortchanged after going it alone, so they hired us to fight for addition monies. Within months we collected an ADDITIONAL $1 million dollars for this client.
Had they hired us from the beginning, we may have been able to collect even more than the toal 1.5 million, plus they would not have had the headache of trying to adjust their own claim.
What is a typical Public Adjuster Fee?
Public Adjuster fees are usually 20%, however when a State of Emergency is declared (like during a Hurricane), the State of Florida will cap Public Adjuster fees at 10%. Don’t believe our fee is well worth it? See our Client Testimonials.
