Could you say a little more about the "public adjuster" idea? That's
different than hiring an attorney. Do you think that public adjusters who
represent the policyholder are a good idea? -- sometimes, always, never?


I had three experiences where insurance claims were involved. All
three were fire damage, on residential, two industrial.

Case #1 Public adjuster got much more done than the insurance
adjuster got. Homeowner also paid for some extra work and upgrades
at the time.

Case #2. The insurance company paid the maximum of the policy so an
adjuster would get no more. Why pay an adjuster for that?

Case #3 Adjuster was able to collect on damages that we would not
even think about. This was a payout of over a million dollars. Well
worth the 10% fee.

Oh, fees are negotiable.
