Michigan Public Adjuster
Miller Public Adjusters is a licensed Michigan public adjusting firm that works exclusively for policyholders — not insurance companies. Storm, hail, fire, water, and ice dam damage claims handled across the Great Lakes State.
How We Help Michigan Policyholders
When your insurance company sends their own adjuster, that adjuster's job is to protect the insurer's bottom line. Miller Public Adjusters works only for you — documenting every dollar of damage and negotiating the settlement your policy entitles you to.
Michigan Cities We Serve
Why Choose Miller Public Adjusters
We've handled hundreds of claims across Michigan — from Detroit rowhouses to Grand Rapids commercial buildings to rural farmsteads. Here's what makes Miller different.
Unlike the adjuster your insurer sends, we are 100% on your side. Our only obligation is to maximize your recovery under your Michigan policy.
We inspect every inch of your property — roof, interior, contents — and document damage your insurance company's adjuster may have missed or undervalued.
Insurance policies are complex. We read yours in detail and identify every coverage available to you — including coverages you may not know you have.
We handle all communication with your insurance company — so you don't have to deal with adjusters, phone queues, or lowball offers on your own.
We operate on a contingency fee basis. If we don't increase your settlement, you owe us nothing. Michigan state law regulates our fees for your protection.
Michigan storm patterns, ice dam dynamics, and Great Lakes weather effects are what we know best. Our adjusters have inspected thousands of MI storm damage claims.
Our Claim Process
From first contact to final settlement, here's what working with Miller Public Adjusters looks like.
We review your claim, policy, and the damage at no charge. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help and what a fair settlement looks like.
Our adjusters conduct a detailed on-site inspection — documenting all damage to structure, systems, and contents with photos and scope reports.
We analyze your Michigan homeowners or commercial policy in detail, identifying every applicable coverage and exclusion that affects your claim.
We prepare a comprehensive claim package — scope of damage, cost estimates, and supporting documentation — and present it to your insurer.
We negotiate directly with your insurance company on your behalf, countering underpayments and pushing back on unfair denials.
Once we reach a fair settlement, we guide you through the final steps so you receive your payment and can begin repairs.
