Public Adjusting
What Are Public Adjusters Anyway?
Insurance adjusters are licensed to determine whether or not your claim is covered and how much your provider owes you. But insurance companies have a financial interest in keeping your settlement as low as possible. They hire field adjusters and desk adjusters to investigate claims, but they have to protect the carrier's bottom line, which comes at your expense.
So if insurance companies can hire multiple sets of adjusters to protect them, why shouldn't you be able to hire an adjuster to protect you?
