Public Adjusting Terminology
If you’ve suffered damage to your home, business, investment property, HOA, or Condo Association, a public insurance adjuster can help you get the most out of your policy as you work to recover. However, be an informed consumer and be certain to familiarize yourself with key terminology before beginning the process.
Actual Cash Value – Actual cash value refers to the monetary value of an item that has been lost or damaged. It takes into consideration depreciation and wear.
Replacement Cost – The actual cost to replace a damaged item. This does not take into account depreciation or damage. Your independent licensed public adjuster can help calculate these figures.
Flood Insurance – Flood insurance must be purchased separately from traditional homeowners insurance, and only covers limited property damage.
Period of Interruption – Whether it’s from an earthquake or fire, the period of interruption refers to the amount of time it takes to get your home or business back in previously working order.
Exclusion – An exclusion refers to items or causes that are not covered by insurance. There are often exclusions for flood and fire, since they are covered by separate insurance.
Public adjusters are state licensed insurance adjusters that assist policy holders with claims regarding property.
These experts can be found in most parts of the United States. Most people need a public adjuster to aid them when a disaster happens, such as a fire an earthquake or flood, that has caused damage to their home or business.
The adjuster can assist the policy holder by helping them get the right sum of money that is due to them.
This money comes from the insurance company with which the individual or family has a policy.
There is a certain process involved when people try to settle with an insurance company after a home fire or other property loss. Steps need to be taken in a certain order and information needs to be conveyed in a clear and concise way with the insurance carrier.
When the public adjuster or professional firm works to prepare your case, it is important to give all the details regarding personal loss, the coverage you have in place, and the cost of repairing or replacing lost possessions.
Policy holders do have certain civil rights and protection from insurance associations. There are files put in place to keep records of your insurance policy.
This way the licensed public adjuster can make certain each policy holder gets the insurance money they deserve for their claimed damages. Public Adjusters are contracted to maximize the recovery from insurance companies for all property losses.
By speaking with a public adjuster in your area, you can get further information on insurance plans and policies for home coverage. It is always smart to take care of this ahead of time so that you do not have to worry when something occurs.

Most people who have a claim have no idea how to prepare and adjust it. They more or less rely on their “insurance adjuster” to do that for them. BIG MISTAKE! What you must understand is, it is the “insurance adjusters” job to make company inspired settlements with policyholders, most of whom lack the fundamental information and adjusting skills to be on a level playing field with the adjuster. A NAPIA (National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters) Adjuster can help you level the field.
Knowledge is leverage. The more you know, the more power you have, and insurance adjusters are well trained to cut corners and save their company money and, more and more, look for ways to avoid paying claims. You need someone as well trained in your corner looking out for your interests. The objective in adjusting should be to get as good a result as possible, as quickly as possible, as trouble free as possible. Most policyholders will continue their fate of dealing ineffectively due to the fact that they lack ability, information, and understanding.
To adjust is to negotiate. An adjuster is a negotiator. Usually, only the person representing the insurance company is considered the adjuster, and the policyholder receives his/her adjustment, as previously stated, from a company inspired adjuster. In order to arrive at an adjusted settlement, each side has its own needs to satisfy. The less you know, the more likely you are to be forced to meet the needs of the insurance company. You must know your needs! You must know your rights!
A Public Adjuster can help you with both of these. If you don’t know what to expect and how to get it, you may become overwhelmed and give in too easily.
No one knows the outcome of an adjustment beforehand. Therefore, it is impossible to anticipate to what extent either party will give in to the needs of the other. Bargaining power becomes the main ingredient in adjusting. It usually comes about naturally as facts come to the surface. Adjusting is a matter of give and take, and unless you are dealing from a position of strength and knowledge like a Public Adjuster can offer, you may be forced to give too much.
Insurance adjusters facing a knowledgeable public adjuster usually enter on a more cooperative basis, and there is a strong likelihood that each will strive for common goals.
Usually a policyholder has to deal with a claim at a time following a disaster. Psychologically, most people are not up to the task under these circumstances. It is very common to see people in a state of shock, confusion and helplessness. A professional public adjuster will be emotionally level and competent.
The time of a personal disaster is not the time to be thinking about all of this for the first time. Think about it now and take comfort in the knowledge that a Public Adjuster can be there to protect your interest if indeed the unthinkable happens to you.
