Question 1

What is a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

A public adjuster works to make sure you receive the full amount you're entitled to for your insurance claim. Most homeowners lack the expertise and knowledge to navigate the claims process and fully understand what they’re owed, but that's where a public adjuster steps in. By selecting ClearClaim Adjusters Inc., you're entrusting your claim to skilled professionals whose success is directly tied to your own. Let us handle the complexities, so you don’t have to.

Question 2

What is the difference between a public adjuster and an independent adjuster?

Accepted Answer

A public adjuster represents the property owner, while an independent adjuster is hired by the insurance company. Likewise, a company adjuster is employed directly by the insurer. Unlike public adjusters, who work to protect your interests, independent and company adjusters prioritize the needs of the insurance company.

Question 5

How do I know if I even need a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

If your property has been damaged, it's always a good idea to work with a public adjuster. Even if you think the claim might be minor or straightforward, we provide a no-obligation, free consultation to help you decide whether it's worth filing a claim or paying for the repairs out of pocket. It’s important to ask yourself: can you really trust your insurance company to fully and accurately assess the damage when their goal is often to minimize what they pay out?

Question 6

When should I contact a public adjuster?

Accepted Answer

When you experience property damage, your first call should be to a public adjuster. The sooner we get involved in your claim, the better your chances of securing a favorable settlement. It would even be best to contact us before notifying your insurance company.

Question 7

What if I already filed or settled?

Accepted Answer

Even if you've already submitted a claim, you can still bring in a public adjuster. Whether you've received a settlement check or are partway through the claims process, we are able to assist you at nearly any point to improve your outcome.

Question 8

How long will it take until I have my property back?

Accepted Answer

The results will differ depending on how extensive the damage is. Each loss brings its own challenges, and some issues may not surface until the reconstruction phase, revealing problems that weren’t initially apparent.

Question 9

How long does it usually take to get a check once a resolution has taken place?

Accepted Answer

After a settlement is agreed upon and the insurance company receives all the necessary documents, they will issue a check. It usually takes about 7-10 business days for the check to arrive.
