What is a Public Adjuster?

There is already an adjuster on your claim — the question is who that adjuster works for

When you file a property insurance claim, the company sends its own adjuster: a trained professional whose job is to value your loss on behalf of the party that has to pay it. What most homeowners never realize is that there is a licensed professional who does exactly that work for the other side — for you. A public adjuster inspects the full loss, documents what the carrier’s scope leaves out, and negotiates for the payout your policy actually owes. The distance between what an insurer offers on its own and what your claim is genuinely worth is where a public adjuster earns their keep — and it is usually far more than most homeowners expect. That is exactly the gap we close.

There is no out-of-pocket cost to find out where you stand. A licensed public adjuster works your claim on contingency — paid a percentage only of what we recover for you, above what the carrier offered on its own. No recovery, no fee. Whether you are about to file, mid-claim, or already paid too little, the most valuable move you can make is to talk to us before you settle with your insurer.

What is a Public Adjuster?

Public Loss Adjusters is a public adjusting company that works for you, the Insured. You have suffered a loss. Whether your property is residential, commercial or marine, PLA can help you. We document your loss, providing clear evidence of the damage to your insurance company.

Do you believe the amount of money they are offering you is less than your claim is worth? Call us! After our documentation process, we review your coverage and estimate what it will take to make you whole again.

We interact with your insurance company so that you do not have to. On average, Insured’s who used a public adjuster receive higher claim payments than those who do not.

OUR MISSION

TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW THEIR INSURANCE CLAIM WITH SOMEONE WHO THEIR BEST INTERESTS IN MIND.

As you may have experienced already, dealing with an insurance company’s claims adjuster can be frustrating. It is our job to work on your behalf to bring facts, figures and your own policy language to your insurance company’s adjuster to get you the highest claim payment possible. The claims adjuster is an employee of your insurance company, with an obligation to act in good faith but also with the interest of the insurance company first. We work for you. We aggressively advocate on your behalf in your best interest. We use construction industry standards to create an estimate of what it will cost to make you whole again. When we present this information to your insurance company and their claims adjuster, we work tirelessly to get them to see it from your side. We negotiate with your insurance company until you get a fair settlement.

⏰ Already paid too little on a past claim? Florida law may still give you a window.

If a Florida insurer closed or underpaid a property claim, Fla. Stat. 627.70132 generally gives you a running window to act — but the clock starts on your date of loss, not the day you discover the shortfall. In most cases that means you may have less time than you think.

Reopen a closed claimgenerally within 1 year of the date of loss — for additional costs on damage already disclosed.
File a supplemental claimgenerally within 18 months of the date of loss — for additional damage from the same event the insurer already adjusted.

Your policy’s own notice terms can be shorter, and every claim is different. Whether a past claim can still be reopened — and what the carrier left unpaid — is exactly what we assess. Call (352) 353-4556.

General information about Florida claim deadlines under Fla. Stat. 627.70132, not legal advice. Windows run from the date of loss and vary by claim and policy; your policy’s prompt-notice terms may be shorter — contact us to confirm specific deadlines.
