Public Adjusters for Commercial Properties Winter Storm Damage Insurance Claims
A snow or ice storm has just damaged your commercial property, possibly causing a roof collapse, burst pipes, torn siding, broken windows, and more. You need to make repairs as quickly as possible to get back to business and take care of your employees and customers. At the same time, you need to begin a complicated property insurance claim. You call your insurance company to file a claim and look for help; however, they are dealing with many other claims just like yours, and you are no longer an asset to them, but rather a liability. Although you could try to manage the claim on your own, doing so will be like working a second job; one mistake can severely impact your settlement.
Our team of licensed public adjusters, construction estimators and contents specialists alleviate your stress by managing the entire claim for you to secure the best settlement possible.
Our team cares about getting your business back up and running as quickly as possible.

What to Focus on After a Winter Storm
Before engaging your insurance company, consider the following questions:
- What is my insurance agent's or broker’s role in the process? When faced with supporting my position, with whom will they stand?
- How do I minimize the impact of a large deductible?
- Am I impacted by coinsurance?
- Do I need my own construction, civil or professional engineer for the damage assessment?
- How can I afford to rebuild my business or building with a large deductible?
- Successful evaluation of damages hinges on a well-coordinated effort between engineers and construction consultants. Do I have the right experts lined up? Should I rely on the insurance company’s experts?
- How do I keep my employees and customers?
- How can the insurance adjuster represent both me and the insurance company?
