Have you suffered some sort of loss that is covered by your insurance? If so, it may be the time to consider working with a public adjuster in Atlanta. Why? Because a public adjuster is someone who is going to evaluate the loss, but entirely on your behalf and then help you to file a claim. They are the perfect resource if you feel that the amount of compensation being offered to you by the insurance company is less than it should be.

You can hire a public adjuster in Atlanta if there has been damage due to hurricane, fire, flood or even wind and other issues, and it can be for property losses in addition to business income, as well.

Why would a public adjuster in Atlanta even be necessary? After all, isn’t your insurance company on your side? The short answer is, that the insurance companies may not dedicate the amount of time it takes to give you the fullest amounts possible. The adjuster, on the other hand, will typically do an exhaustive evaluation of the loss and create and submit a claim that ensures you get the very most out of the coverage you purchased.

As a simple example, let’s say that you sustained severe damage due to flooding and you had insurance to cover it. The insurance company may use a measure such as a cost per square foot to calculate the amount they give you to rebuild or fix the property. The adjuster, however, is going to itemize everything – they’ll look at what it costs to redo a ceiling in plaster, all of the walls with insulation and drywall as well as moldings and paint. They include the flooring, windows and framing, heating and a/c components, outlets and much more.

With their attention to detail, the public adjuster in Atlanta is going to ensure you obtain the highest amount due to you by the insurance company. Yet, they can also negotiate on your behalf, helping you to avoid accidentally settling for a smaller claim or causing issues with miscommunications or misunderstandings. They are going to save you the tremendous amount of both time and money, and handle things that few of us are equipped to handle.

If you have endured a loss that is covered by insurance, it could be in your best interest to contact a public adjuster and find out if you are getting the best deal possible.
