DEALING WITH YOUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER


Insurance companies (carriers) may hire their own in-house insurance adjusters or use independent insurance adjusters.

 The job of the “insurance adjuster” is to ensure that the policy-holder and insurance company are properly treated in the course of a situation that triggers the insurance.

 If you are not satisfied with the offer of the carrier’s adjuster, talk to that adjuster and/or your insurance agent and express your concerns.

 After working with the adjuster and your insurance agent, if you are still not satisfied, you may contact a “public adjuster”.  The public adjuster will charge a fee as a percentage of the total claim settlement (usually between 12 per cent and 18 per cent). 

 You may also contact the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters at >www.napia.com<.  The phone number for the NAPIA is 703/433-9217.

 Contact Mike, Andrea, or Mandee at the Triplett Companies for further information regarding “insurance adjuster” problems you may incur. Our phone number is 515/232-5240
