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.

Insurance Policy Review -New Years Resolution

Insurance Policy Review — Like money in the bank! 

This is the season for New Year's Resolutions, as our friends at the Merlin Law Group suggested in an article by  Shane S. Smith, Esq..  Ms. Esquire Notes "The New Year is a time when many people commit to a New Year’s Resolution to do something different, or have set specific goals they would like to achieve in the New Year. Maybe you have set a goal regarding improving your health or personal finances. However, have you thought about a resolution to review your insurance policies?"

The heartbreak of being under insured after a damage to your property yields the owner and the Public Adjuster with problems that cannot be remedied.

We encourage owners to have an insurance policy review bi-annually to assure conditions do not change that could cost at the time of insurance covered damage.

Talk to your insurance broker and ask for an insurance policy review to include: 

  • Do I have enough coverage on my building for all potential perils?
  • Do I have enough coverage for my contents?
  • Do I have enough coverage for loss of use or additional living expenses if I must be away from the property?
  • Can I get a reduction in my cost of insurance by doing something with my home, windows, structural, or security system?
  • How much does the maximum for sewer backup coverage?
  • Check your deductibles, make certain they are not so high you cannot afford them.
  • Make certain all the buildings on your property are covered.
  • Make certain you are covered for specific high value items in your home; Antiques, Fine Art, Jewelry, etc.

This entire process will not take long, and will assure you that a loss at your home or business does not become a loss to you personally. Insurance carriers deny claims, Global Patriot Adjusters, as your Public Adjuster fights these denials with great success. Our ability to settle insurance claims is enhanced when overages are appropriate for the eventual loss situation.

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.
