Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a public adjuster?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we successfully increase your settlement. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement amount, so there's no upfront cost to you.
How long does the claims process take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your claim and the responsiveness of your insurance company. Simple claims may be resolved in a few weeks, while complex claims can take several months. We work diligently to resolve your claim as quickly as possible.
Can you help if my claim has already been settled?
In many cases, yes. If your claim was recently settled and you believe you were underpaid, we may be able to reopen the claim and negotiate for additional compensation. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
What if my claim was denied?
A claim denial is not necessarily the end of the road. We can review the denial, identify grounds for appeal, and work to get your claim approved. Many initially denied claims are ultimately paid after professional advocacy.
Do I need to be present during the property inspection?
While it's helpful for you to be present, it's not always required. We can coordinate with you to schedule inspections at a convenient time, and we'll keep you informed throughout the process.
Will hiring a public adjuster affect my relationship with my insurance company?
Hiring a public adjuster is your legal right as a policyholder. While insurance companies may prefer to deal directly with you, working with a professional advocate is a legitimate and common practice that should not negatively affect your coverage.
