Hiring a public adjuster makes a lot of sense

A house owner who may have lost his life saving in a fire, theft or flood may not be in the mental frame of mind to think for himself. Public adjusters are experienced in dealing with such situations, they understand the pain and the emotions of the house owner in such stressful situations. An efficient public adjuster shields the client from the stress of the damage and the tedium of paperwork as well as ruthless negotiations with the insurance company. Usually the adjusters are paid a percentage of the amount that is obtained in the negotiation process, so rest assured they have the best interests of the client in mind.

Typically, public adjusters are hired soon after damage or loss has occurred. As soon as the loss has been recorded by the insurance company they send their own adjusters. If the claimant does not answer their questions to satisfaction, this will negatively impact the settlement amount and the asset owner will be at a loss. So it is always best that the public adjuster is present at this time and helps in ensuring that an equitable amount is obtained by the house owner as compensation for the damages.
