Your West Hollywood public adjuster

West Hollywood packs a lot of housing into a small city, and most of it is shared walls, shared plumbing and more than one policy. We work for you, not the insurance company. We inspect the property in person, document the damage and deal with the adjuster so 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 West Hollywood

West Hollywood is mostly apartments, condos and small multi unit buildings, many of them older. Leaks travel between units, and a single burst pipe can create claims for the building owner, the HOA and several tenants at once.

Renters make up most of the city, and a renters policy covers belongings and living expenses, not the building. Condo owners carry their own policy for the interior while the HOA's master policy covers the structure and common areas, and the line between the two is a common source of disputes.

Hillside homes along the northern edge of the city, near the Hollywood Hills, face fire and wind exposure, and the whole area sees Santa Ana winds and water losses from aging plumbing. Break-ins and vandalism claims also come up in busy commercial areas, and we handle those too.

Claims we handle in West Hollywood

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help if a leak from the unit above damaged my West Hollywood condo?

Yes. Leaks between units are common in older buildings. We document the damage, review which policies apply, including the HOA's and your own, and work with the insurance company on repairs and your belongings.

Do I need a public adjuster for a claim in West Hollywood?

You do not have to hire one, but it can help when the damage is large, the claim was denied or underpaid, or the insurance company's estimate is far below your contractor's. A free review can tell you whether it makes sense for your claim.

How much does a public adjuster cost?

Public adjusters are paid a percentage of what is recovered. The fee and everything else about the work is written into a contract that you can review before you sign. We are happy to go over it with you during a free review.

What should I do first after damage to my West Hollywood home?

Make sure everyone is safe and stop the source of the damage if you can. Take photos and video before any cleanup, keep damaged items when possible, save receipts for emergency costs and report the loss to your insurance company. Then call us before you agree to a settlement or sign anything.

I rent in West Hollywood. What does my renters policy cover?

Usually your belongings and extra living costs if you cannot stay in the unit, not the building itself. We review your policy, build the inventory and push for replacement value where the policy allows it.

Do you handle claims for businesses on Santa Monica Boulevard or the Sunset Strip?

Yes. We help business owners with property damage and business personal property claims, from water and fire losses to break-ins and vandalism. We document the loss and push for a fair settlement.
