Public Adjuster Can Help With Insurance Claims
Insurance is complicated for people who do not deal with it every day. But if a setback like a fire happens, they do not know what the best way to deal with their insurance company. That’s where the audience experts come in.
But when his insurance company alluded to a $ 15,000 claim for his damaged property, he hired Ben Johnson, one of 29 public experts in Minnesota are accredited by the state. “It’s the insurance team come here, their preferred supplier, they adapt and their researchers. People do not know that there are other options out there,” Johnson said. His cut of the final settlement will be in 10 percent to 15 percent range. “I will only be charged when you realize real benefit, which means more money.”
Insurance shows that public adjusters can increase claim amounts ultimately push up everyone’s premiums. “If you have a dispute, the best source is to always go back to the insurance company first. Most homeowner claims are treated successfully,” said Mark Kulda, vice president of public affairs for the Insurance Federation of Minnesota. As part of its lobbying duties, Kulda is working on a bill that this legislation would turn the public experts.
