FAQs About Hurricane Damage Insurance Claims
How much does a public adjuster charge?
We typically work on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if you receive a settlement. Our fee is a percentage of the final payout, so we are motivated to secure the best compensation for you.
How long does the claims process take?
The length of the claims process depends on the complexity of your case, but we work diligently to resolve it as quickly as possible while ensuring that you receive a fair settlement.
Can you help if my hurricane damage claim was denied?
Yes! If your claim has been denied or underpaid, we can review the details and help you file an appeal to get the compensation you deserve.
Why You Shouldn’t Rely Solely on the Insurance Company’s Adjuster
The adjuster from your insurance company works for them, not for you. Their goal is to minimize the payout, which could leave you with insufficient funds to cover the full cost of repairs. By hiring Otero Property Adjusting and Appraisals, you ensure a public adjuster is dedicated to maximizing your compensation and advocating for your best interests.
