Benefits of Hiring a Public Adjuster Vs Handling a Claim on Your Own

March 23, 2021

There are lots of reasons it pays to hire a public adjuster after your home sustains a fire or any other type of damage. First, it is important to know that a public adjuster is working for you. Insurance companies have teams of people working to either deny your claim or pay out as little as possible. It is always important to have someone on your side and here’s a look at more ways a public adjuster can benefit you.

Time is on your side
Wading through the insurance claim process involves a fair amount of paperwork. That takes a lot of time to complete. The back and forth correspondence with insurance companies also takes time. Hiring a public adjuster puts time back on your side and allows a professional to handle all those time-consuming details.

Expert insight
Most homeowners are not well-versed in the more minute details of their policy. A public adjuster knows what’s what and can understand all the fine print. That helps immensely because you may overlook something of great importance when attempting to handle your own claim.

Because you mean business
When you hire a public adjuster, an insurance company knows it cannot get away with offering you an insufficient settlement. This will change their tactics. Bringing on a public adjuster will show an insurance company that you mean business as you now have a professional to help you through each step of the process.

Expedite the process
A public adjuster will be able to put your claim on the fast track. Insurance companies make requests during the claims process and if you are unsure of what you are doing, it may take multiple attempts to complete those requests. This could put an unwanted delay into the entire process. An adjuster can complete each step quickly and efficiently.

More money
Multiple studies have shown that settlements are larger when a public adjuster is involved. Even though you have to pay a public adjuster, you could still wind up receiving more money because the payout is likely to be significantly higher.

A better state of mind
Handling a claim yourself brings on a lot of worry and stress. But when you turn over your claim to a public adjuster, you also relinquish much of your anxiety. This means you will not have to constantly worry about mishandling the process or trying to learn an entirely new process. You will be in a better overall state after hiring a qualified public adjuster.

Americlaims may be the best thing that has ever happened to us. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for our family. Last year, my husband and I bought our first home....and our first night there literally 4 hours into being in our new home, our moving truck was stolen out of our driveway, with all of our belongings in it. We had the clothes on our back, and that was it. We lost everything we have ever owned. My fathers ashes, family heirlooms, wedding photos...not to mention all of our furniture, electronics, checkbooks, college diplomas, clothes, our doctoral white coats...etc I called my home owners insurance company to initiate a claim, and they sent me a blank piece of paper and told me to just write everything down we lost. We didn't even know where to begin. It was overwhelming.Someone told us about public insurance adjusters. And honestly we didn't know that companies like Americlaims existed. But we met with Tonya....and it was the best decision we've ever made. Tonya worked diligently to file our claim. She provided us with all the tools and info we needed to recall what we lost. She helped us itemize, price, and negotiate with our insurance company so that we could be compensated fairly for our losses. She was 100 on our team. It's been almost a year since our theft, and we are just wrapping up with this insurance process. And I just can't thank Tonya and Americlaims enough for all they have done for us. It made a very hectic and stressful time much more manageable. As a newly married couple, they honestly gave us the opportunity to get our life back. Without them we would have had to start over using all of our savings.
