constantly changing. Endorsements are documents added to your policy to either exclude or supplement certain policy coverage which was not included when you bought the policy.
It’s important to familiarize yourself with these forms. However, unless you work in the insurance business on a regular basis, these documents can be difficult to understand.
Most people just don’t have the expertise to properly understand and interpret the technical language contained in their policy. Nor do they understand the complicated procedures that must be followed to comply with the policy’s terms. The insurance company’s adjusters are trained professionals who represent the insurance company’s interest. You can protect yourself by retaining a Public Adjuster whose sole responsibility is to serve you.
In addition, when you file a claim with your insurance carrier, there are certain policy conditions that must be satisfied. Failure to do so can reduce your settlement amount or even cause your claim to be denied.
Just because the insurance company’s adjuster makes a statement or the insurance company makes a decision concerning your loss, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is fact. It’s not uncommon for the carrier to misinterpret its own policy or forget to apply Florida statutes case law that may supersede their policy.

Yes. Public adjusters are required to be tested, licensed, bonded and authorized to practice their profession in the State of Florida. They are licensed by the Department of Financial Services just like the adjusters who represent the insurance company.
At The People’s Choice Public Adjuster, we don’t get paid unless you do. Our fee is based upon a percentage of the insurance company’s settlement to you (after your deductible). There are no upfront fees for our services and if you don’t get paid, neither do we.
No. We help anyone who needs our services so there is no such thing as a claim that’s too big or too small. Simply give us a call, and we will review your claim with you and explain exactly how we can help.
Yes. Many of the people we’ve helped the most had their claim denied by their insurance company. We reopen the claim and negotiate with the insurance company to obtain payment for the covered damage.
Not usually, because Florida law allows five years from the original date of loss to file a supplemental. If you believe you were underpaid and would like us to give you a second opinion, please call us. We will carefully review your claim and present all of your options. If you feel a previous claim was underpaid, we’ll help you re-open it and work to secure a fair, generally larger, settlement.
Public adjusters utilize a team of appraisers, engineers, mold examiners and other subject matter experts as needed to prepare a comprehensive picture of your claim to the insurance company. The Public Adjuster will also keep meticulous records in order to help maximize your settlement.
No. It is against the law in the State of Florida to terminate insurance coverage or discriminate against you in any way for exercising your right to file a claim for a covered loss.
Each insurance company has specific guidelines in their policy declarations that govern the reporting of claims, but as a general rule in the State of Florida most claims can be filed for up to five (5) years from the date of loss.
