Hurricane IKE: Insurance Disaster
Following Hurricane Ike, many discovered that their insurance checks are not close to an adequate settlement amount. It is not too late; you can still get help with your claim! Highway 45 looks like a shopping mall for lawyers. It is filled with billboards advertising attorneys who are “now accepting hurricane insurance claims”. Yard signs are all over town with companies and contractors trying to help negotiate insurance settlements. First of all, it is important to understand that it is illegal for a contractor to negotiate your insurance settlement. Secondly, many lawyers are not experienced with handling first party claims in insurance law, and therefore you could be taking a huge chance by trusting just anyone who claims to have experience. Lastly, if you are not ready to shell out 33% from your settlement to the lawyers, you should consider other, more affordable options. Hiring an experienced licensed Public Insurance Adjuster is one of the best options available to have your claim settled. Many believe that the small payment an insurer offers up front is the end of the road but that is just not so. You can have your claim reviewed, at no charge, even if your insurer has made a payment. It is not too late to get help achieving a proper settlement. Insurance specialists at United States Public Adjusters (USPA) are available to review your insurance claim right now at absolutely no charge. USPA charges on a no cure no fee basis, that is, you only pay for services when USPA produces payment to you from your insurer. “Filing appropriate paperwork on a timely basis is the key to an appropriate and efficient settlement. Our goal is to educate people on how to handle a claim on their own, if the need arises. The paperwork for proper processing is extremely industry specific, and must be done correctly. I know that many homeowners and business owners never read their insurance policy and that’s where the problem begins ” says Alex Step of USPA. “We employ over 40 licensed adjusters. Many of them used to work for insurance companies as adjusters, claims managers, directors, policy underwriters, estimators, examiners, general contractors and public adjusters. We have what it takes to recover maximum settlement from your insurance company in order to bring your property back to pre-loss conditions. Your insurance premium will not increase just because you are using a Public Adjuster” added Mr. Manasov of USPA.USPA’s adjusters have a proven track record of settling millions of dollars in disputes with insurance companies after disasters such as: Hurricanes Wilma, Katrina, and Charlie, the tornado in Lady Lake and many others.
