SETTLEMENT QUESTIONS
Will I get a higher settlement if I will hire a Public Adjuster?
Will I get a higher settlement if I will hire a Public Adjuster?
Almost always, you will receive a higher settlement from the Insurance Company than if you do not use a Public Adjuster for the simple reason that your claim will be presented much more favorably and with careful attention to your policy coverage.
Typically, the more detailed and complete your claim, the higher the settlement. We go through all the evidence, step by step, very carefully inspecting the loss site and accurately documenting the damage.
Studies have clearly demonstrated that the most inventories compiled by insured without the help of a Public Adjuster are very incomplete.
Can I reopen a claim if I was already paid?
Can I reopen a claim if I was already paid?

When can I expect my claim to settle?
The average claim settles in 3-4 months on average. The insurance company like to dictate the speed of the claim and the timing of the payment. Our public adjuster will see to it they pay as quick as possible and for the right amount.
