Licensed Public Adjusters for Homeowners
For many homeowners, the preparation of a property damage claim without the assistance of their own insurance loss adjuster is unfamiliar territory. The documents are filled with complicated jargon and calculations that only a claims adjuster will thoroughly understand: depreciation, replacement costs, and actual cash value. At times, the list seems endless, especially when you have enough on your hands just getting your life back together. But it's your responsibility to document and prove your claim to the insurance company, either by yourself or with the aid of a public adjuster.
Many policyholders just like you have asked the same questions: How do I estimate my loss? Will I recover enough to rebuild? Can I do this myself, without a public insurance adjuster? This uncertainty is easily removed through the professional assistance of our proven team of professional public adjusters.
What will US Adjusters do for you?
After a loss, we maximize your insurance claim, which is the foundation for your successful financial recovery.

Many people don't realize that the insurance company doesn't automatically pay their insurance claim. Instead, it's your responsibility to prove your claim in order to get compensated for a loss. When a disaster occurs, the insurance company has adjusters, building engineers, claims managers and supervisors, all representing their interests. Who do you have representing yours?
As you are trying to rebuild your home and stabilize your life, there is little time for learning the ins and outs of insurance to make sure you're not settling for less than you're entitled to. Our professionals can help by:
- evaluate your policy to help present the strongest possible claim to your insurance company;
- measure & document damages to detail and prove your losses: your house, your belongings, your additional living expenses;
- negotiate on your behalf with your insurance company;
- advise you of your options and keep you informed every step of the way;
- settle your claim for the maximum amount; and
- free you to focus on the emotional recovery of your family and your job.

What is a Public Adjuster?
Public adjusters are the only category of insurance adjuster who work exclusively for you, the policyholder.
MORE
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. Public adjusters will typically contact you after a disaster. It's important for you to know what to ask so you can distinguish established and trustworthy firms from all the others. [Close this section]

Can't I do this myself?
Sometimes you can. Our professionals will tell you up front if we can't make a difference in your claim.
MORE
In some cases, especially with smaller homeowner losses, we actually recommend that you do take care of the claim yourself. Our pledge to you is that if we do not believe our involvement in your claim will make a difference, we'll tell you right up front.
As claims get more complicated, however, so does the time and energy required to accurately document every detail of your loss. A very 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 the money they're entitled to simply because they don't know the ins and outs of the claim process. If your home has just been destroyed, the impact on your life can be substantial. Many of our clients have told us that saving themselves the time and strain of handling an insurance claim was a welcome relief in a stressful and challenging time. Why suffer twice from the same disaster?
You have nothing to lose by contacting us for our opinion. We will always tell you if we can't make a difference in your claim.
