What Is a Public Adjuster and Why You Should Have One on Your Side

Dealing with property damage can be one of the most stressful experiences a homeowner or business owner faces. Fires, frozen pipes, water leaks, and severe storms can all cause serious damage—and filing an insurance claim afterward often adds to the frustration. That’s where a public adjuster becomes your greatest asset.

At Up Front Settlements, we help Michigan residents and business owners take control of the claims process. Here’s why having a public adjuster in your corner can make all the difference.

Understanding the Role of a Public Adjuster

A public adjuster is a licensed professional hired by you, not your insurance company. Their job is to represent your best interests when dealing with property insurance claims. They assess the damage, interpret your policy, and negotiate directly with the insurance company to secure the best possible payout.

Unlike insurance company adjusters—who are hired to protect the insurer’s bottom line—our public adjusters work solely for you.

Why You Need to Hire a Public Adjuster

Filing an insurance claim can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to recover from a loss. Hiring a public adjuster provides several key advantages:

  • Expert policy knowledge
  • Accurate damage assessment
  • Full documentation of your claim
  • Professional negotiation with the insurance company
  • Increased likelihood of a higher settlement

At Up Front Settlements, we know how to find hidden damages, push back against lowball offers, and make sure your claim is handled fairly.
