Your Los Angeles public adjuster
Los Angeles is where most of our work happens, and our office is just up the road in Glendale. We inspect the property in person, deal with the insurance company's adjuster and handle the claim from the first walkthrough to the final payment. A public adjuster works for you, not the insurance company. Our job is to make sure the damage is fully documented and the claim is paid at what it really costs to repair or replace.
If your claim was denied, underpaid or delayed, or you are not sure the insurance company's number makes sense, call us before you agree to a settlement or sign anything.
What shapes insurance claims in Los Angeles
Los Angeles covers a lot of ground, and the claims change with the neighborhood. In the hills and canyons, from the Hollywood Hills to the Santa Monica Mountains, wildfire, embers and Santa Ana winds are the main worry. The January 2025 Palisades and Eaton fires also showed how far smoke and ash can travel, leaving damage in homes across the region that never burned. Insurance companies often underestimate that damage, especially in HVAC systems, ducts and attics.
Much of the city's housing is older, and a large share of it is apartments and condos. Aging supply lines, drain lines and water heaters fail, and a leak in one unit can damage several others. Condo owners often deal with two policies, the HOA's master policy and their own, and the two sides do not always agree on who pays for what.
Wind and roof damage is common during Santa Ana wind events, and a small repair offer on a roof that needs full replacement is one of the most frequent disputes we see. We took a roof claim in Shadow Hills, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, through appraisal to win a full replacement.
Claims we handle in Los Angeles
- Fire and smoke damage, including wildfire smoke and ash in homes that did not burn.
- Water damage, from burst pipes and failed supply lines to hidden leaks and mold disputes.
- Wind and roof damage, including partial repair offers when the whole roof needs replacing.
- Vandalism and burglary, from stolen belongings to broken doors and windows.
- Personal property and contents, so your belongings are valued fairly.
- Condo and HOA claims, where the master policy and the unit owner's policy both come into play.
How it works
- Free claim review. Tell us what happened. We look at your policy and the insurance company's position and tell you where you stand.
- Documentation. We inspect the property, document the damage and prepare a detailed estimate and photo report.
- Negotiation. We deal with the adjuster, respond to their estimate and push back on anything that was left out or undervalued.
- Appraisal if needed. When the two sides cannot agree, we can invoke the appraisal clause in your policy.
Public adjusters are paid a percentage of the amount recovered, and the fee is spelled out in a written contract before you sign anything.
