Get helpful tips on how to find a public adjuster on the insurance blog. Find out more about where to find content specialists who can help when you've had a major loss.
I’ve had a few emails lately asking me about how to find reputable public adjusters:
“Dear Lisa,
I am currently living in Afghanistan. I’d like to file an insurance claim for additional living expenses we had as a result of the fire in San Diego, where my house is located.
Reading about "content specialists and personal property specialists" on your Website, I wonder if you could advise what the initial steps should be on how to find a reliable person to help us with our claim. We have all the receipts in connection with the loss and we’re ready to turn them over to the insurance company.
Your professional assistance will be highly appreciated.”
And here’s another email about public adjusters, this time from an attorney:
“I represent 50 plus families who lost all of their contents in a major fire. I am looking for a content specialist to consult with to determine the value of these losses. Do you know how I might find one in our area who might be able to help?”
I sent both readers to the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA). The NAPIA is a professional association of public adjusters who work with policyholders to help them analyze damages and to get information together to file a claim. They work for the policyholder only, and they don’t have to answer to insurance companies. You can use their website to search for property specialists nationwide.
