Home Damage Adjustment
How are Public Adjusters Paid?
How Public Adjusters Earn Their Fees?
When hiring a public adjuster you do not have to put up any retainer or upfront fees. Fees are not paid until the payment is collected from the insurance company.
Public adjusters work on a contingency fee basis (a percentage of the recovered settlement) and public adjusters generally charge a lot less than an attorney. The fee structure can vary depending circumstances surrounding the claim and the type of loss.
Ultimately, the fees are often considered a value as settlements can double, triple or quadruple in comparison to what your insurance company would offer you when you try to submit a claim on your own.
In a typical scenario, our homeowners end up with more money even after paying the public adjuster fee. Typically, a public adjuster’s fees range between 10% to 40%. Home Damage Adjustment fees are very competitive with the market. Our fees are on a sliding scale based on the size of the claim, so we can charge a lower percentage on a larger loss.
