Maximizing the Size of Your Insurance Claim -

Maximizing the Size of Your Insurance Claim

Maximizing the size of your insurance claim may mean properly valuing  or discovering the depth of the actual damage.

"Maximizing the size of your insurance claim is more of a science project than anything else.  We prove facts, and present them in a way the Insurance company will understand." - Marc Lancaric - Public Adjuster, President of Global Patriot Adjusters, LLC

Yesterday we met with an insurance adjuster for a claim in Nashua, NH. The adjuster sized the claim at $23,500.  We validated our estimate at $41,000 and settled the claim. That defines Maximizing the Size of Your Insurance Claim.

Earlier in the week were working on a Pipe Break claim in Hartford, CT. The Owner thought the claim was going to cost about $43,000 to repair due to a contractor visiting the property who "eye-balled" the estimated cost.    We produced a line by line estimate of the damage to the property to justify the entire claim. The actual claim value was $91,5000.

Early conversations with the Insurance Adjuster look positive for this amount.  The owner is actually getting an Advance for $15,000 this week due to our efforts.

While working with a business owner in Hopkinton, MA, we discovered a second pipe break which was missed by the carrier. The Pipe had lower pressure and had caused a slower release of damaging water.  We were able to inform the carrier and validate the additional damage.  

On commercial claims especially, Maximizing the Size of Your Insurance Claim mean assessing the damage and Loss of Use Policy provisions. The Pitfalls of handling an insurance claim can mean the loss of tens of thousands on the average loss.

Please Contact Global Patriot Adjusters to have us work on Maximizing the Size of Your Insurance Claim. 

With years of experience, our ability to bring about quick action from your insurance carrier is our standard of operation.  Your insurance company does not have your best interest at heart.  We have a staff ready to personally handle every aspect of your claim.

Ice Dam Insurance Claims - Public Adjuster

Global Patriot Adjusters, LLC handles hundreds of Ice Dam Insurance Claims every year. These are some of the most tedious claims to prove out because the damage is often layers deep in the roofing then building structure. We have handle most of these claims in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, and New York

Marc Lancaric - Public Adjuster says "Insurance Companies Deny Ice Dam Claims with a bunch of excuses we have learned to overcome!"

Ice dams on roofs form when accumulated snow on a sloping roof melts and flows down the roof, under the insulating blanket of snow, until it reaches below freezing temperature air, typically at the eaves. When the melt water reaches the freezing air, ice accumulates, forming a dam, and snow that melts later cannot drain properly through the dam.

Ice dams may result in leaks through the roofing material, possibly resulting in damaged ceilings, walls, roof structure and insulation, damage or injury when the ice dam falls off or from attempts to remove ice dams.

Reasons Ice Dam Insurance Claims Require a Public Adjuster:

  1. The casual way the insurance industry looks at ice dam claims means small settlements.
  2. The building is comprised of systems; roof, insulation, walls, structure. These systems have to be addressed in the repairs and damage assessments for ice dam insurance claims.
  3. Insurance carriers will often deny or otherwise limit claims based on faulty information of neglect by the owner.
