Common questions about public adjusters

What does a public adjuster do?

A public adjuster is a licensed professional who works for you, not the insurance company. We document the damage, build the estimate, present the claim and negotiate with the insurer so the settlement reflects the real cost to repair or replace what was lost.

How much does a public adjuster cost?

We are paid a percentage of the amount recovered, agreed in a written contract before any work begins. The claim review is free, and we walk through the fee with you before you sign anything.

How long does an insurance company have to pay a claim in California?

In general, California insurers must acknowledge a claim within 15 days, accept or deny it within 40 days of receiving proof of claim, and pay within 30 days of accepting it. Requests for more information can change the timeline. Our guide to California claim deadlines explains each step.

Should I call a public adjuster before or after the insurer makes an offer?

Either works, but earlier is usually easier because we can document the damage before it is cleaned up or repaired. If you already have an offer that feels low, we can review it and the estimate behind it before you accept.

Do you only handle claims in Los Angeles?

Most of our work is across Los Angeles County, and our office is in Glendale. We are also licensed in Nevada, Washington, Ohio and Kentucky.

Will hiring a public adjuster guarantee a higher settlement?

No. Every claim is different and no result is guaranteed. What we can do is document the loss thoroughly and make sure the insurer has seen the full scope of the damage.
