CHANNEL:
Hi there! New to our channel? If so, here is what you need to know -- I talk about all things related to insurance claims, specifically Public Adjusters a LOT (I know super boring stuff unless of course, you need one - then I can assure you, it's entirely riveting) so I use this channel to explore how to hack residential and commercial claims to help you maximize your claim settlement.

What is a PUBLIC ADJUSTER:
A public adjuster is a professional claims handler/ claims adjuster who advocates for the policyholder in appraising and negotiating a claimant's insurance claim - both residential and commercial.

PUBLIC ADJUSTER VS. INSURANCE ADJUSTER:
A Public Adjuster is an adjuster that works directly for you and protects your interests. The Insurance Adjuster is hired by the Insurance company to protect their interests and keep the claim payout as low as possible.

Insurance companies will hire a team of adjusters, experts, and mediators to provide you the lowest possible payout. In contrast, Public Adjusters assemble their own team to expedite the claims process, maximize the settlement, and get you back into your home or business.
