You don’t have to accept the first settlement offer you receive from your insurance company. If you have received a bad settlement offer, a public adjuster can help to secure a better offer for you.
One of the main advantages of using a public adjuster is the likelihood of a higher settlement offer. They understand the fine print in your homeowners insurance policy. They have the skills, knowledge and experience to negotiate with insurance adjusters.
In addition to the above, claim handlers work on a contingent fee arrangement. They’re paid a fixed percentage of the settlement amount. The higher the settlement amount, the more they’re paid. This is a strong incentive for them to responsibly make sure you’re paid the maximum amount owed under your policy.

Many homeowners think hiring a lawyer is the best solution when an insurance claim doesn’t go according to plan. However, hiring a lawyer is a very expensive option.
Most lawyers charge a contingency fee of 33 to 40 percent of the settlement amount. This is significantly higher than what you can expect to be charged by a claim handler or public adjuster.
Note: It’s not uncommon for a lawyer to make use of the services of a claim handler or public adjuster.

Negotiating with insurance adjusters can be very hard. It’s likely they know all the ins and outs and have a counter-argument ready before you even start negotiating. Besides, how good are you at negotiating with an expert about a topic you might know very little about?
An experienced claim handler or public adjuster often deals with insurance companies or their adjusters on a daily basis. Your claim handler is in a much stronger position to negotiate a good settlement offer than you are.
