Tips on Hiring a Public Adjuster

• Check the PA’s license at your State’s Department of Insurance website.
• Ask for referrals from recent clients with a similar type of loss.
• Ask how insurance payments will be handled and how and when the PA’s fee will be issued.
• Ask for how long they’ve been a public adjuster and are they a part of any state or national associations.

Taking care of these important details up front can save a lot of time later down the line.

Keep in mind…

• Public adjusters cannot act as a contractor and the public adjuster on the same claim.
• Public adjusters must have a license in the state they are working.
• If a public adjuster pushes you straight to an attorney without doing any work on your claim – contact your state's department of insurance.
