PHOENIX PROPERTY OWNERS LEARN HOW PUBLIC ADJUSTERS PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS WHEN FILING AN INSURANCE CLAIM
In August, U.S. News & World Report published an article about what property owners need to know and do to file a successful insurance claim. The article discussions the vulnerable state of mind most property owners find themselves with after a disaster strikes and why they need to protect their interests and not just rely on what they are offered by their insurance provider.
One of the most significant options available to policyholders facing a claim are the resources offered by public adjusters. In fact, the article lists hiring a public adjuster as one of the key things that can help homeowners file a successful claim. It states, “While the adjuster sent by the insurance company works for the company, a public adjuster works for you, so he or she will analyze your policy, make your claim and sometimes even help you secure your home, such as covering broken windows or holes in the roof or find temporary housing.”
In Arizona, one of the leading public adjusters is Hudson Douglas Public Adjusters, LLC (HDPA). In addition to representing policyholders in Arizona, they also offer their services in Utah, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
“Most people don’t understand all of the potential hurdles they may face when their home or business sustains damage,” said Douglas Waldie, President of Hudson Douglas Public Adjusters, LLC. “An experienced public adjuster knows what needs to be done to ensure a positive outcome.
We handle the claim so that policyholders are rest-assured that it is taken care of in a professional, comprehensive and timely manner. The end result is a happy policyholder who gets their property fixed and receives all of the benefits they are entitled to under their policy.”
There are no out-of-pocket costs for HDPA’s customers. A licensed public adjuster handles all negotiations and receives a small percentage of the claim as payment for their services
