Should I Hire A Public Adjuster or An Attorney?

Posted on December 1, 2009

This question is often asked by many policy holders who receive contradictory and confusing information as to whether they need to hire a Public Adjuster or an Attorney to assist them and advocate for them with their Insurance Claim.

 

Here is a really good video that explains when to use a Public Adjuster and when to use an Attorney to handle your insurance claim. I would say that in almost 95% of situations, you would use a Public Adjuster before an Attorney.

 

Attorney's usually do not understand how to adjust a claim or speak the same language as adjusters. Rather, an Attorney is necessary when a claim is denied and cannot be re-opened or if all options under the policy have been exhausted and you are still not happy with the outcome.

 

In conclusion, definetely go with a Public Adjuster!
