Public Insurance Adjuster News
IT'S BEEN PROVEN THAT HIRING A PUBLIC ADJUSTER WILL RESULT IN A MUCH HIGHER SETTLEMENT
FLORIDA'S OFFICE OF PROGRAM POLICY ANALYSIS AND GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY STUDIES PUBLIC ADJUSTING INDUSTRY IN FLORIDA AT THE REQUEST OF THE LEGISLATURE. They report that battling with an insurance company to get paid what you're owed may take longer - but it is now confirmed that:
"PUBLIC ADJUSTER REPRESENTATION...INCREASES PAYMENTS TO CITIZENS POLICY HOLDERS"
Policyholders with public adjuster representation typically received higher settlements than those without public adjusters.
Policyholders that filed catastrophe claims in 2008 and 2009 generally received larger insurance settlements than policyholders that did not hire these persons. The typical payment to a policyholder represented by a public adjuster was $22,266 for claims filed in 2008 and 2009 related to the 2004 hurricanes. In contrast, policyholders who did not use a public adjuster received typical payments of $18,659. The difference in payments was larger for claims related to 2005 hurricanes, with public adjuster claims resulting in payments that were 747% higher.
For non-catastrophe claims, policyholders who used public adjusters received an estimated $9,379 on their claim, compared to $1,391 for those policyholders that did not use a public adjuster (a difference of 574%).

Storm Damage To Broward Church Forces It To Close
(CBS4) OAKLAND PARK On Wednesday, Broward County building inspectors posted "unsafe structure" stickers on a church damaged by yesterday's storms.
Part of the roof over the gym portion of The Cristo La Roca Church off Prospect Road collapsed Tuesday afternoon. That building was destined to house the church’s growing congregation, but now those plans have been put on hold.
"It's not easy because we put so much effort and all the people in the community helped us," said Pastor Angel Diaz.
There are cracks all over the wall of the gymnasium. There is at least thirty percent roof damage, and the fear is the common wall between the gym and church can give way.
The pastor Diaz, said "We need to get a company to stabilize the wall, otherwise, strong winds may knock it down."
Ralph Gonzalez, a Broward County building inspector said, "We're not going to allow the building to be occupied until we determine that the wall is going to be safe."
A dilemma for the congregation, which has no insurance on the building, and must choose its next step: to rebuild, to repair, and at what cost.
