Should I prepare my own insurance claim?
Sure, but it stands to reason that the Licensed Public Insurance Adjuster, who has years of experience and training, can do so with a more thorough job than the policyholder. The adjuster will handle all the necessary details for compiling and filing claims, as required by the terms of your insurance policies. Your public insurance adjuster will also negotiate, on your behalf, with insurance company representatives and handle all matters essential to a proper and satisfactory adjustment.
Why do I need help in filing an insurance claim?
The typical insurance policy contains hundreds of provisions and stipulations that are constantly changing and many complex details about your requirements in case of a loss. Most people do not know or understand these policy provisions - and most do not realize that the burden of proof is on them, the policyholder. Most insurance company adjusters actually prefer to work with an experienced Licensed Public Insurance Adjuster vs. an inexperienced insured. AmeriLoss not only has your confidence, but also that of company adjusters who recognize that they are dealing with a professional.
Why should I hire a public adjuster when the insurance company has provided an adjuster?
The adjusters sent by them are employed and paid for by the insurance company. It is advantageous for their adjusters to work on behalf of the insurance companies. They offer to pay in most cases what is in their favor not yours. AmeriLoss Public Adjusting, Corp. is your private and personal adjuster working exclusively for you. With their experience and knowledge, they are better able to obtain a more favorable adjustment.
I called my insurance agent - isn't that enough?
No - an insurance agent is a salesperson usually trained in sales, not in adjusting claims.
What will the public adjuster do for me?
Your public insurance adjuster assists with every phase of preparing and presenting your claim, as well as accomplishing an adjustment for you, which is equitable and includes everything to which you are entitled under your insurance policy.
I've suffered a loss - what do I do now?
Promptly report the loss to the insurance company or, even easier, call AmeriLoss and we will report the claim right away after you retain our services.
How is the actual loss determined?
They do an itemized estimate of all the damages in your property, as well as a physical inventory of your personal property to make sure all provisions in your policy are properly fulfilled. This often involves numerous steps of which you may know little or nothing, but can make a significant difference in the amount of the final adjustment.
I don't think I can afford your services and fees - what does it cost to start the process?
To start, there is no cost for the consultation at your property and then we work on a contingency fee basis, which means NO RECOVERY, NO FEE - we only get paid when we are able to perform. There is no risk to you or your finances. The only risk you have is not to file your claim with us and get a lesser settlement.
My insurance company already sent out an adjuster & wrote me a settlement check - does this mean it is too late to go back and hire a public adjuster?
Absolutely not! In the State of Florida you have anywhere from one to five years to have your claim reopened. CALL AmeriLoss for a no cost, no obligation consultation to get paid what you deserve!
