A public adjuster is a state licensed insurance professional that specializes in managing every aspect of an insurance claim on the behalf of the policyholder (claimant, or insured). Public insurance adjusters provide services of negotiating or “adjusting” insurance claims. Public adjusters are a type of claim adjuster that are individually licensed and hired by the insurance policyholder. They represent the general “public” and “adjust” claims to effect settlements.

Most people are aware of insurance adjusters or claims adjusters that work for the insurance company to investigate, inspect, appraise and adjust insurance claims, in order to determine the amount of compensation the insurance company is liable to pay.

A public adjuster performs many of these same functions but is hired by the policyholder, to advocate for the policyholder, during the process of appraising and negotiating a claim. A public insurance adjuster is someone who is hired to represent the financial interests of the person or entity who is insured by the policy. A public adjuster works for you – not your insurance company. Public adjusters use their experience and expertise in the insurance industry to ensure a claim is properly handled and achieves a fair outcome, while also working to successfully maximize the compensation. All in efforts to help those in need to truly recover after a loss. Article written by Claimsmate.
