What is a Public Insurance Adjuster?

Public Insurance Adjusters (PA's) are professionals hired by  homeowner/policyholders who have experienced a loss requiring an insurance claim.  PA's represent their clients by managing every aspect of the claim ensuring a fair and timely settlement benefitting the policy holder, NOT the insurance company. 

A PA quickly responds to the location of damage, reviews all policy information and insurance company/adjuster correspondence regarding the claim, works hand-in-hand with the policy holder assessing damages, assembling estimates and inventories and assists garnering much needed living expense or loss of use payments.
