I can file my own claim, why would I need you?
The average consumer files only 1 insurance claim in their life times. Many of these claims are well into the thousands of dollars. If you only had one opportunity at filing a claim that you have never done before and it involved your property that would cost you time and money to repair or replace, would you take this issue and handle it yourself? Or would you trust the ability of an experienced adjuster to guide you in making wise decisions as you proceed? Do you know the proper time frames to expect a response? Do you know how to respond when you do not have correspondence from your carrier? Have you fulfilled all your responsibilities under the duties of the insured in the policy? How long do you have to file a claim? How long do you have to repair the damage after you have received the funds from the carrier? What if the estimate is short?
An experienced public adjuster can answer these questions. Ask all these questions, find out next steps, and if you are overwhelmed, hire a public adjuster to help you during the claim process.
