WHO DOES WHAT

Public Adjuster vs.
Insurance Appraiser

Two different roles. Both on your side. Knowing the difference helps you deploy the right expert at the right time.

Public Adjuster

YOUR ADVOCATE IN THE CLAIMS PROCESS

A public adjuster is a licensed professional who represents you — the policyholder — throughout the entire insurance claims process. They manage your claim from first notice of loss all the way through final settlement.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Files and manages your insurance claim on your behalf
  • Reviews your policy to identify all coverages you're entitled to
  • Negotiates directly with the insurance company's adjuster
  • Prepares and submits all required documentation and proof of loss
  • Advocates for the highest possible settlement under your policy

WHEN TO USE

Hire a public adjuster when you have a new, complex, or disputed claim and want expert representation throughout the entire process.

Insurance Appraiser

THE EXPERT WHO DETERMINES VALUE

An insurance appraiser is a technical expert who specializes in determining the accurate value of a loss. They are typically engaged when you and your insurer already agree a claim is covered — but disagree on how much it's worth.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Conducts a detailed, independent inspection of all damage
  • Prepares a line-by-line estimate using industry-standard pricing
  • Identifies damage that the insurance company's adjuster missed
  • Formally participates in the policy's Appraisal Clause process
  • Provides an expert opinion that can be used to challenge low offers

WHEN TO USE

Invoke the appraisal process when your claim is approved but the insurer's payout is significantly lower than actual repair costs.
