Benefits of Hiring a Public Adjuster into the Claims Process As Soon As Possible

Many homeowners try and work with their insurance company on their own after experiencing a major loss. They don’t know that they can hire a professional who is versed in insurance policies and who could help them. This can result in undervalued or denied claims. Don’t let this happen to you. If you suffered a major loss, whether from a storm, fire or other event, call a public adjuster right away. Here are three reasons why you should hire a public adjuster as soon as possible in the claims process:

1. Understanding Your Policy

Insurance policies are notoriously full of jargon and legalese that are difficult to understand. Public adjusters are experts in analyzing insurance policies to learn all of your rights and coverage that the insurance company promised you in the policy. This can enable the public adjuster to file a more comprehensive initial claim with the insurance company than if you tried to do it alone.

• Words Matter

Words that are used interchangeably in everyday conversation can have a different meaning to an insurance company. For example, “water damage” is covered by homeowners insurance but “flooding” is not. Public adjusters know the right terminology to use when filing your claim so that you can receive the maximum amount for your loss in the minimum amount of time. This helps minimize the chances of the insurance company undervaluing or denying your claim. 

• Rapid Site Inspections

The sooner a public adjuster can inspect the site of the damage, the better. This will give them the most accurate perspective on the level of damage that you experienced. The public adjuster will tour the site to identify structural issues that need to be addressed; finish work, such as woodwork or wallpaper, that needs to be repaired or replaced; and personal items that need to be replaced. On top of this, they will develop a line-item estimate for these items. This prevents you from having to locate and contact multiple contractors to secure bids on fixing the damage, as well as having to spend your time and effort valuing furniture and personal items that may have been purchased years ago or no longer have receipts.

In addition, by hiring a public adjuster right away, they will attend the walk-through of the damage site with the insurance company’s adjuster, which can give the public adjuster the opportunity to work through any potential differences of opinion between them and the insurance company’s adjuster even before the insurance company adjuster submits their estimate.

After a major loss, letting a public adjuster handle the entire claims process can help expedite approval of your claim and help you receive the full amount of compensation that you are owed. Don’t wait for the insurance company to undervalue or deny your claim. By hiring a public adjuster to manage the claim process right from the start, you may be able to resolve your claim faster and receive more compensation for it.
