If you are having problems with your adjuster, you basically have four options in seeking resolution. First, you can try to get another adjuster assigned to your claim. Often insurance carriers will assign another adjuster to a file upon a request. Second, you can hire a public insurance adjuster. A public insurance adjuster can measure and document your loss in a professional manner that exceeds most homeowner's abilities. However, it is important to pick an established public insurance adjuster with full time office in this area. There are many stories of incompetent public insurance adjusters that actually harm, rather than help an insured. Contact me for a referral to some reputable public insurance adjusters. Third, if your dispute is determined by the insurance carrier to be a covered claim, you can consider appraisal. I usually recommend against the appraisal process because it is fraught with traps that can take advantage of unwary policyholders and can actually cause you to lose valuable rights. Finally, you have the option to hire an attorney. Attorneys skilled in insurance matters are a comprehensive solution. They can handle all aspects of your claim and enforce your rights under the law in ways that public insurance adjusters and appraisal can not.
