Insurers have learned to scrutinize claims before offering any settlements because they deal with fraud on a daily basis. That is why they employ specialists that are qualified to assess claims, to inspect the damage that led to the claim and to examine policy documents to ascertain the validity of claims. Claimants, too, can hire the services of such specialists to help them submit their claims. With the aid of a public insurance adjuster Palm Beach claimants can make sure that their claims are settled quickly and fairly.

Assessors are highly qualified individuals. There are many such experts that work independently and their services can be hired by any claimant. They enjoy an enviable measure of respect from most insurers and even the courts. They are even able to represent their clients in court in the same way an attorney can. Before being able to practice, assessors must be formally registered.

Before a claim can be prepared the assessor needs to study the policy documentation. The extent of the cover enjoyed by the claimant must be determined. In fact, many claimants find, to their shock, that their cover is limited or that the damage suffered are excluded from their cover. The assessor must also study the terms and conditions in order to prepare for a correct and complete claim.

Once the assessor is satisfied that the claim is a valid one, the next step is to prepare the claim documents. This can be a complex task because it is not only the cost of repairing the damage to the property that must be determined. The claim must also make provision for other losses directly attributable to the damage. This may include loss of profits, salaries of personnel that are not working due to the damage and even contractual penalties.

Claimants often find that insurers offer them a settlement far below the actual claim amount. It is difficult to negotiate with large financial institution and it is at this stage that many claimants seek professional help. An assessor can review the process, prepare a new claim or even help the claimant to take the matter to court. Of course, it would have been better to hire an assessor at the beginning of the process.

Many property owners do not hire professional assessors because they think that it is too expensive. However, this is a foolish train of thought because the cost of professional services should be weighed in the light of the benefits that can be gained. Assessors can often see to it that claims are settled quickly and in favor of the claimant. They know exactly what the requirements of the insurer are.

The cost of hiring an assessor can be high. Some charge a fixed fee per hour or day, others will quote for a specific claim in total and yet others are willing to work on a contingency basis. In the latter case the assessor accepts a percentage of the final settlement as his fee. Claimants should carefully evaluate their options before accepting a quotation.

When aided by a public insurance adjuster Palm Beach property owners can rest assured that their claims for damages are in good hands. Assessors save time and money and they can help claimants settle the matter quickly and efficiently. Claimants also enjoy the benefit of not having to deal directly with the insurers.
