Are Public Adjusters Worth it?
When you have legal issues, you hire a lawyer. When you are sick, you go to the doctor. When you are young, you go to school to be taught by professionals. Why do we do all of these things? We pay these people large amounts of money because all of these people are educated in their fields, and are considered experts. So when it comes to a homeowner’s insurance claim, why wouldn’t you do the same? Chances are that you are not an expert in insurance, and because of that you should not let the insurance companies take advantage of your ignorance. Public Adjusters know what they’re doing, they know the legal jargon, and they know the ins and outs of the insurance world.
So down to the main question, are public adjusters worth it? Hiring a public adjuster can be extremely beneficial when it comes to insurance claims. Not everyone can be experts on insurance, so that’s where they come in. Oftentimes when you hire a public adjuster they don’t get paid until you settle the claim, so this is extra motivation for them to do their job, and do it well. When you hire a public adjuster, typically, not only do they get your claim accepted by the insurance company, but they also get more money than you would have gotten without their help. In the end, they get a small percentage of the claim. But they stand behind their policy of “no recovery, no fee!”
When you go through something unfortunate that leads to making an insurance claim, chances are whatever it was, flood, fire, or burglary, it was highly traumatic. People hold their homes very close to their hearts, and something that completely flips that upside down can be very emotional for most people. That is why it is nice to hire a public adjuster. They come in, look at what happened objectively, and fight for what you deserve. They aren’t there to take advantage of people, or even fight for things that people don’t deserve. They are there to help you in your time of need. When you’re sick you wouldn’t skip going to the doctor and handle it by yourself. So when something happens in your life, don’t skip hiring a public adjuster and handle it by yourself.
