Know Your Policyholder Rights

  • Insurers are required by law to act in good faith

  • They must equally consider any evidence supporting your position

  • You have the right to file a bad faith claim if they wrongfully delay, underpay, or deny

  • You’re entitled to indemnity—restoration of your property and financial loss

  • You bear the burden to prove your claim damages. This means if you don’t prove your loss, they don’t have to pay.

Why Hiring a Public Adjuster May Be Crucial

When your property is damaged, insurance companies bring in expert, adjusters, engineers, attorneys, to protect their bottom line. You should too.

A qualified public adjuster:

  • Advocates only for you, not the insurer

  • Helps you understand and comply with your policy

  • Fights lowball offers and wrongful denials

  • Increases your payout by up to 747%, according to Florida OPPAGA Study

TESTIMONIALS

Hear what Our Clients are saying

"Thank you Scott"

Scott responded to my inquiry and took the time to listen and understand our unpleasant experience dealing with our insurance claim. Although I did not utilized his service, he gave me a sound, professional advice and offered to help when he referred me to his engineer. They replied promptly and I was able to have better understanding of the situation. Thank you Scott!
- Haidee J.

"I would highly reccomend"

Words can’t describe how grateful we are for the consultation and claim evaluation we had with Scott. Full disclosure we were unable to work with him due to limitations of our scope. We wanted to properly recognize Scott for the honest and genuine passion he put in to not only our claim, but the way he runs his business in general. We hadn’t had such clarity of next steps since this began in 2020. I would highly recommend this business to everyone spinning their wheels in this process!

- James M.

"I came across this company and had none of those bad feelings"

This was not the first public adjuster I called. I called a different company first but they gave me a bad feeling on the phone. Too aggressive. Didn't feel trustworthy to me. So, I kept looking. I came across this company and I had none of those bad feelings. Scott, the guy who took my call, seemed very knowledgeable and I felt I could fully trust him. As it turned out, he told me that my claim was fairly simple and I didn't need the full scope of his service and fees. But, without charging me a fee, he gave me some needed advice on this whole matter of insurance claims which I needed. And told me I could call him back to ask another question or two if necessary. I would recommend this company for these services.
