Should I Use a Public Adjuster?
Jan 18, 2024 Crossroads IRA
When you file a significant claim, the insurance company sends its own adjuster, who works for the insurer. A public adjuster works only for you. Deciding whether to hire one comes down to the size and complexity of your loss.
When a Public Adjuster Helps Most
- Large or complex losses, such as fire, storm, or water damage.
- Claims that have been denied, delayed, or underpaid.
- Situations where you lack the time or expertise to manage the process.
- Disputes over the scope or value of repairs.
What They Do for You
A public adjuster inspects and documents the damage, reviews your policy, prepares a detailed independent estimate, and negotiates directly with the insurer. Studies have repeatedly shown that represented policyholders tend to recover substantially more than those who go it alone.
