Homeowners and commercial property owners on Long Island have insurance to cover specific types of losses. These insurance companies have their own teams of adjusters that arrive at the home or business to assess the damage. If the damage is significant, such as storm damage, fire damage, or other types of problems, it can be difficult for the home or business owner to know if the adjuster’s report is accurate.
However, an insurance adjuster sent by the insurance company is not your only option. Home and business owners throughout the Long Island area can also choose to hire their own public adjuster. Unlike an insurance company adjuster, the public adjuster is not associated or affiliated with the insurance company, which means they work for you to advocate on your behalf.
Low Assessment of the Damage
One of the most common reasons to hire a public adjuster in long Island is a low amount offered by the insurance company. If the home or business owners feel there are areas of the claim that are undervalued or have not been considered, they can hire their own adjuster to complete the assessment.
Speeds Up the Claim Process
In many situations, having a public adjuster speeds up the claim process as they have the expertise to work directly with the Long Island insurance companies on your behalf.
In addition, these professionals typically receive a contingency payment, which means a percentage of the settlement claim. They work diligently to get a fair settlement amount and also to reduce the changes of the claim being litigated through the courts.
