Assessment

The first step in the commercial claims process with a public adjuster is to assess the damage and determine the extent of the loss. This involves a thorough examination of the property, documentation of the damages, and assessment of the cost of repairs. The public adjuster will work with the property owner to gather all necessary information, such as receipts and invoices, to support the insurance claim

Preparation and Submission of the Claim

Once the assessment is complete, the public adjuster will prepare and submit the insurance claim on behalf of the property owner. This involves a detailed explanation of the damages, the cost of repairs, and any supporting documentation. The public adjuster will negotiate with the insurance company to ensure that the property owner receives the maximum compensation for their loss.

Monitoring and Settlement

The final step in the commercial claims process is to monitor and settle the claim. The public adjuster will work with the insurance company to monitor the progress of the claim and ensure that it is settled in a timely manner. They will negotiate with the insurance company to resolve any disputes and ensure that the property owner receives a fair and just settlement. Throughout this process, the public adjuster will keep the property owner informed and updated on the status of their claim.
