Hello, my name is Ed Benavides, and I am the owner of Up Front Settlements. After over 20 years of experience for the insurance industry, I founded the company in 2011 to help clients navigate the complexities of their insurance claims. In 2014, after a tornado devastated my family home, I gained a personal understanding of the stress and confusion that comes with dealing with property damage. These experiences drive my passion for helping others through the claims process, ensuring they get the fair settlements they deserve with the knowledge and support they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a public adjuster do?

    A public adjuster is a licensed professional who works exclusively for you, the policyholder - never for the insurance company. At Up Front Settlements, we review your policy, inspect and document your property damage, prepare detailed estimates, and negotiate directly with your insurance carrier to help you receive the maximum settlement available under your policy.

  • How is a public adjuster different from the adjuster my insurance company sends?

    The adjuster your insurance company sends works for the insurer, and independent adjusters are also hired by insurance companies. Public adjusters are the only type of adjuster who works solely for the insured. Our job is to protect your interests, make sure every item of damage is properly documented, and pursue a fair settlement on your behalf.

  • What types of property damage claims do you handle?

    We handle both residential and commercial insurance claims, including storm, wind, hail, and tornado damage, fire and smoke damage, water damage, frozen and burst pipes, roof damage, and vandalism. We also assist clients whose claims have been denied or underpaid.

  • What areas does Up Front Settlements serve?

    We're headquartered in Rochester, Michigan, with strong roots in Oakland County and Metro Detroit, and we proudly serve policyholders throughout Michigan and Ohio - including Kalamazoo, the Upper Peninsula, Toledo, and Columbus.

  • When should I contact a public adjuster?

    Ideally, before you file your claim. Getting a public adjuster involved early helps you avoid common mistakes, ensures your damage is fully documented from the start, and improves your claim outcome. That said, we can also step in at any stage - including after a claim has been underpaid or denied. Contact us for a free consultation.
