What is a Public Adjuster?

A public adjuster is a licensed professional who works exclusively for policyholders to manage the insurance claims process. Their goal is to help you receive the full amount you're entitled to under your insurance policies. Public adjusters play an especially important role in commercial claims, which can involve substantial losses and complicated insurance contracts.

Why Commercial Property Owners Need a Public Adjuster

There are many reasons you might need the help of a public adjuster, including:

  • Complex Policies: Commercial insurance policies often contain intricate clauses and coverage limits. A public adjuster will carefully review these details to ensure nothing is missed.
  • Business Interruption: If your business operations are disrupted due to property damage, a public adjuster will help you file a claim for lost revenue and ensure your business gets back on track as quickly as possible.
  • Extensive Property Damage: Commercial properties often involve larger and more complicated claims than residential properties. A public adjuster can properly document and assess the full scope of damage..
  • Negotiation with Insurers: Insurance companies may try to minimize claim payouts on large commercial claims. A public adjuster negotiates on your behalf to fair and reasonable settlement.
  • Time Savings: Commercial property owners are busy running their businesses. A public adjuster handles the time-consuming process of dealing with insurance adjusters and claims, freeing you to focus on your business.
  • Fair and Reasonable Settlements: The larger scale of commercial claims means there's more at stake. A public adjuster’s expertise helps ensure you don’t leave money on the table.

By reviewing your insurance policy, assessing damages, and negotiating with your insurance provider, a public adjuster takes the stress out of the claims process for commercial property owners.

How a Public Adjuster Works To Get You The Maximum Settlement

When you hire a public adjuster, they take a comprehensive approach to ensure you receive reasonable and fair settlement:

  • Uncovering Every Coverage Opportunity: Public adjusters go beyond simply reviewing your insurance policy. They identify overlooked provisions and additional coverage that you might not be aware of, ensuring you leverage every part of your policy for maximum benefit.
  • Conducting Detailed Loss Valuation: With a meticulous eye, public adjusters perform independent assessments, focusing on not only visible damage but also the underlying impact on your business operations and future income. They make sure that no damage, big or small, goes undocumented.
  • Presenting a Strong Case: A public adjuster prepares a robust claim package, complete with thorough documentation, photographs, and reports. This ensures that when they negotiate, they present a compelling case that fully justifies the compensation you're entitled to.
  • Advocating Relentlessly: Negotiating with insurance companies requires persistence. Public adjusters are seasoned in these discussions and know how to counter lowball offers, pushing back until they secure a settlement that reflects the true extent of your losses.
  • Ensuring Long-Term Protection: Beyond the immediate payout, public adjusters consider future financial implications, like ongoing repairs or business interruptions. They fight for a settlement from your insurance company that covers not just today’s costs but also any long-term recovery expenses you may face.
