If you are filing your own homeowners/commercial property claim, a public adjuster could be doing it for you.
If you are the type of person who would represent yourself in court, then you don’t need a public adjuster. However, people choose to have a lawyer defend them, but don’t know they can have something similar for FREE in an insurance claim.
What is an adjuster?
In an insurance claim, there are 3 types of adjusters
- House Adjuster
- Independent Adjuster
- Public Adjuster
Typically, your insurance company appoints either an in house adjuster, or a independent adjuster. An in house adjuster is more common in the bigger chains. (State Farm, Allstate, Farmers). Smaller insurance companies often contract out an independent adjuster who may work for many different companies per day. Both of these types of adjusters may not always be on your side.
The public adjuster, an adjuster that looks out for the homeowners interest. Like Robinhood, public adjusters take from the checkbook of the rich insurance companies and putting it back into your home or business. The position is relatively new in Illinois as it was created in the 2010’s because of how many complaints the department of insurance was getting.
How do I retain a public adjuster?
To obtain a PA, one has to sign a contract with a Public Adjuster for work to be done. Either for both the adjusting and general contracting or just the adjusting. Signing a PA does not cost anything to a homeowner. They profit from adjusting the claim and taking the percentage, or in our case about 95% of the time we are asked to both adjust the claim and complete the work.
