Public Adjusters and Fire Damage

If you have fire damage you’re probably at the end of your rope – both mentally and physically. Just dealing with everyday tasks while living in temporary housing – without most of your personal belongings – would be difficult for anyone. That’s why many victims of fire hire public adjusters to help in the claim process. But who are they, when should you use them and more importantly, can they really help you?

Public adjusters are nothing more than people the insured can hire to interface with the insurance company to get all of the benefits that the insured is entitled to get.

What I have found is that they’re not as up to date on coverages as the insurance industry and there are pros and cons from using public adjusters. It’s hard for me to answer whether it’s good or bad because there are good ones and there are bad ones, but I think that when you have a significant loss, there’s nothing wrong with hiring a public adjuster. Although if you think about it logically, it may not be in your best interest because they take a percentage of what you would normally get from the insurance company as contract benefits and you end up losing that amount in the end.
