Understanding Public Adjusters: Advocates for Policyholders
A public adjuster, also known as a private insurance adjuster, is a professional insurance claims adjuster who acts as a fiduciary agent, advocating for policyholders throughout the insurance claims process. While policyholders can represent themselves, public adjusters, licensed by state departments of insurance, are the only type of fiduciary agent legally authorized to represent fair treatment, provide oversight, and protect the rights of an insured during the claims process. At Experienced Public Adjusters, we believe in the importance of involving a public adjuster early in the claims process to ensure a fair outcome.
The Role of a Public Adjuster
Public adjusters play a vital role in documenting, strategizing, appraising, and negotiating insurance claims on behalf of policyholders. They specialize in evaluating the damage, preparing estimates and claim documentation, reviewing insurance policies to determine coverage, and negotiating with insurance company claims handlers. This advocacy ensures that policyholders receive fair compensation for their losses, especially in cases where insurers may attempt to underpay or deny claims.
Why Hire a Public Adjuster?
Hiring a public adjuster is essential, particularly when it becomes evident that the insurer is unwilling to pay or underpay a claim. Public adjusters bring expertise in assessing damages, navigating insurance policies, and negotiating with insurance companies to maximize claim settlements. They also ensure that policyholders are not misled or exploited during the claims process.
The Importance of Documentation
Public adjusters meticulously document all aspects of the claims process, including damage assessments, communications with insurers, and policyholder statements. This documentation serves as crucial evidence in the event of litigation, demonstrating bad faith practices by insurers and supporting the policyholder’s case.
