Public adjusters are the only category of insurance adjuster who work exclusively for you, the policyholder.
The three types of “adjusters” are…
• A company adjuster (often referred to as simply the “insurance adjuster”) works for the insurance company.
• An independent adjuster also works for insurance companies, not for policyholders. They are simply an independent agent rather than an employee, so an independent adjuster could be working for multiple insurance companies.
• A public adjuster represents the only category of adjuster that works exclusively for policyholders and never for insurance companies. This means there´s no inherent conflict of interest when it comes to advocating on your behalf to the insurance company.
After known property damage, a Public Adjuster may contact you and offer assistance. It is important for you to know what questions to ask in order to determine if the adjuster is from a competent and ethical firm and whether he or she is the best adjuster to represent you and your particular type of claim.
After a loss, Up Front Settlements will immediately begin the task of organizing your claim presentation. The presentation of the claim is the foundation for a successful financial recovery. Many people do not understand that the insurance company does not automatically pay an insurance claim. Instead, the insurance company will demand that you “prove” your claim before you can be compensated for your loss. When a disaster occurs, the insurance company has Adjusters, Engineers, Claim Managers & Supervisors, and even Attorneys working to protect the insurance company’s best interest. Who do YOU have representing your best interests?

Sometimes you can. Our professionals will tell you “up front” if we cannot make a difference in your claim recovery. In some cases, especially with smaller homeowner losses, we actually recommend that you attempt to take care of the claim yourself. Our pledge: “If we do not believe our involvement in your claim will make a difference, we will tell you right up front”.
When a claim is large or complicated, the time and energy required to accurately document every detail of your loss can be overwhelming. A thorough understanding of valuation requirements is critical to presenting a complex insurance claim along with comprehensive supporting documentation that ensures a full, expedited financial recovery.
Many homeowners do not collect all of the money that they are entitled. When you do not know or understand the ins and outs of the claim process, you will often leave hundreds if not thousands of dollars on the table. If your home has just been damaged or destroyed, the impact on your life can be substantial.

Service fees for public adjusters are regulated by the state, and usually represent a small percentage of the total claim settlement. Property insurance claims are complicated, and the learning curve is steep. Our service fee, based on a percentage of your claim, is minimal in comparison to your total claim settlement and in most cases the fees are offset by the increased settlement amount our experts are likely to achieve—not to mention the time, hassle, and anxiety.
