ARIZONA’S PROPERTY DAMAGE EXPERTS EXPLAIN HOW PUBLIC ADJUSTERS HELP THOSE IN NEED
Anyone who has ever had to file a claim for damage to their personal or business property knows the challenges and difficulties they may encounter. In the chaos and turmoil that typically follows a fire, flood or other damaging event, the policyholder quickly realizes it is just ‘me’ going up against a multibillion dollar insurance provider with teams of legal experts.
What a surprisingly large number of people do not know is that there are licensed professionals whose singular purpose is to represent them and be their advocate during their claims process. These specialists, working solely for the policyholder, are known as Public Adjusters.
According to the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters, “Public Adjusters are experts on property loss adjustment who are retained by policyholders to assist in preparing, filing and adjusting insurance claims. Employed exclusively by a policyholder who has sustained an insured loss, these professionals manage every detail of the claim, working closely with the insured to provide the most equitable and prompt settlement possible. A public adjuster inspects the loss site immediately, analyzes the damages, assembles claim support data, reviews the insured’s coverage, determines current replacement costs and exclusively serves the client, not the insurance company.”
The leading provider of public adjuster services for commercial and residential claims in Arizona is Hudson Douglas Public Adjusters, LLC. “Many people don’t realize what we as public adjusters can do for them when they have to file a property claim,” said Douglas Waldie, President of Hudson Douglas Public Adjusters, LLC. “We are there for individuals and businesses during what is often their greatest time of need. It doesn’t matter if the property damage is due to a natural disaster; fire, flooding event or wind damage; or vandalism and theft. Our sole purpose is to ensure the policy holder is treated fairly and awarded a settlement that will afford them the opportunity to fix their damaged property.”
