Who does a public adjuster represent?

A public adjuster represents the policyholder, or customer, in the insurance claims process. Their primary role is to assist individuals or businesses in negotiating and settling claims with their insurance companies. Unlike company adjusters, who work for the insurance provider and aim to protect the insurer's interests, public adjusters advocate exclusively for the policyholders. This means they understand the complexities of insurance policies and can help clients maximize the compensation they receive for their claims. They perform detailed assessments and can provide crucial guidance through the claims process, ensuring that policyholders understand their rights and options.

By focusing on the policyholder's needs, public adjusters enhance the claim's chances of being settled fairly and promptly, thus creating a more equitable landscape in the often complicated world of property and casualty insurance.
