What Does a Red, Yellow, or Green Placard Mean After a Tornado Storm?
After a tornado or severe storm, learn what red, yellow, and green placards mean, what to do next, and how they may affect your insurance claim.
Wisconsin Public Adjuster
Miller Public Adjusters is a licensed Wisconsin public adjusting firm that works exclusively for policyholders — not insurance companies. Hail, fire, water, wind, and ice dam damage claims handled statewide.
How We Help Wisconsin 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.
"We found Miller Public Adjusters to be extremely professional, prompt and attentive to our needs and wants as we worked our way through the hundreds of decisions that needed to be made during this very stressful situation."
Wisconsin Cities We Serve
Why Choose Miller Public Adjusters
We've handled hundreds of claims across Wisconsin — from Milwaukee rowhouses to Green Bay 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 Wisconsin 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. Wisconsin state law regulates our fees for your protection.
Wisconsin hail seasons, ice dam dynamics, and winter storm patterns are what we know best. Our adjusters have inspected thousands of WI 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 Wisconsin 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.
