Public Adjuster
What is a Public Adjuster?
Public Adjusters (PAs), also referred to as Public Insurance Adjusters, are employed by YOU, the policyholder, to advocate on your behalf. We are licensed professionals trained to handle property loss insurance claims for individual homeowners and businesses. Whereas your Insurance Company may already have their own Adjuster assigned to your claim, Public Adjusters are completely INDEPENDENT and UNAFFILIATED with insurance companies; that means we will solely advocate for your interests to your Insurance Company and their Adjuster.
A typical home insurance policy may have hundreds of provisions and stipulations with constantly changing forms and endorsements. At D.C. Hogan & Associates, we are equipped with all the software, resources, and experience necessary to ensure your claim is given proper attention, reported accurately, and met with a fair settlement. Let our Public Insurance Adjusters relieve all the stress and hours involved in settling your claim, so you can focus on getting things back to normal.
There are three types of Claims Adjusters:
Staff/Company Adjuster
assigned and employed by the Insurance Company
Independent Adjuster
hired on a contractual basis by the Insurance Company
Public Adjuster (P.A.)
personally hired by the policyholder
