Why Hiring a Public Adjuster Could Be the Best Decision After Property Damage

When disaster strikes—whether it’s a flood, fire, or hurricane—your first instinct is to call your insurance company. But what many property owners don’t realize is that the insurance adjuster assigned to your claim works for the insurance company, not you. Their goal is often to minimize payouts and protect the insurer’s bottom line. That’s where a public adjuster comes in. A public adjuster works for you, handling every step of the claim process with one goal in mind: to get you the full amount you're owed under your policy.

Hiring a public adjuster means having a licensed expert assess the damage, document every detail, interpret your policy, and negotiate directly with the insurer on your behalf. Most policyholders don't have the time, expertise, or leverage to challenge an undervalued claim. With a public adjuster in your corner, you're leveling the playing field. They understand the fine print, know the tactics insurers use to deny or reduce claims, and can help you avoid common mistakes that delay payment.

Best of all, most public adjusters—including us—work on a contingency basis: we don’t get paid unless you do. That means your success is our success. Our fee is simply a percentage of the final settlement, giving us every incentive to fight for the maximum payout possible. If you’re dealing with property damage, don’t go it alone. A public adjuster could be the smartest call you make.
