Public Adjusters for Commercial Properties Fire Damage Property Insurance Claims
Your business just burned to the ground - your priority is the safety of your employees - you are wondering what to do next. You call your insurance company thinking they will be ready and willing to help and get you back to business as soon as possible; you have been their client for years.
It is now up to you to ensure you get the settlement you deserve from your policy, but you need more time and expertise to manage your employees and rebuilding/relocating your asset. We manage the claim from start to finish and protect your interests as we prepare your claim and negotiate with the insurance company.
We lost not only our home, but a good portion of our vineyard, our tasting barn, our guest home, all of our equipment, hundreds of acres of forestland and so much more. It was a complex layering of a personal and commercial loss and one that we could in no way manage ourselves. Through the advice of both business associates and through our own personal network, Adjusters International emerged as the firm most highly recommended. Tim’s expertise was critical in negotiating with our insurance company. He oversaw every detail of the multitude of assessments, discussions, inventories, documentations and his attention to detail was impressive. He really partnered with us to understand who we are, our family situation, our business, our loss. He was resourceful and diligent in fighting to maximize our claim on every level. And we were both continually amazed and grateful at the enormity of the work that he was doing on our behalf. The final settlement with our insurance company was OUTSTANDING.

What to Focus on After a Fire
Before engaging your insurance company, consider the following questions:
- What is my agent's/broker’s role?
- Am I impacted by coinsurance?
- Why is a claims strategy so important?
- The insurance company hired a construction estimator. What do I need to know?
- What is the difference between a public adjuster and a building contractor’s damage evaluation?
- Can smoke damage be removed or neutralized?
- How can you identify/document items that are destroyed?
- How can the insurance adjuster represent both me and the insurance company?
