The Role of a Public Adjuster in Florida Insurance Disputes
Experienced insurance lawyers understand the pros and cons of working with public adjusters in the Gulf Coast, the Florida Panhandle, and across the state
Florida allows claims adjusters to become licensed public adjusters. In theory, these people act as agents for policyholders. They negotiate on their behalf in return for a fee or a percentage of the recovery. As a general rule, it is much more advisable for policyholders to seek the advice of legal counsel. Experienced lawyers understand the legal challenges, when claims can be brought for bad faith, how to better document and value damages, and the court procedures.
