Insurance claims are complicated. Understanding the process may be even more frustrating. Following are answers to frequently asked questions regarding the role of a public adjuster after filing an  insurance claim in Illinois.

Why would I want to hire a public adjuster after a disaster?

After experiencing a disaster like a house fire, most property owners find themselves in a situation that is completely foreign. Dealing with the clean-up from fire damage and the insurance claims filing process can be a crushing and confusing and experience. Following a loss from a fire sparked by a space heater, during our frigid Illinois winter, a lot of people will first turn to their insurance agent for help processing an insurance claim. It is true that an agent is well-informed and educated for local regulations, but these professionals do not have the same skills as an Illinois public adjuster.

The role of your insurance agent is to report your loss to the insurance company. Your insurance company will then assign an insurance adjuster to process the claim, and their goal to represent the interest of the insurance company and limit their liability and damages paid out. With their interest to protect their personal stake may result in some policyholders seeking the advice of legal counsel. While legal expertise may be valuable, most attorneys are not insurance claim handlers and lack the necessary experience to properly help a Chicago area homeowner process an insurance claim.
