Loss assessor or loss adjustor?

Richard_Walker

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum so excuse me if I get something wrong! My sister in law had a really bad flood recently and had to go through insurance companies and she used a loss assessor. I personally didnt know what a loss assessor and a loss adjustor did, to be honest I thought they were the same thing but they're not. I thought I'd share this with you as I think its something that will really help (there were lots of threads with related comments but I'm not sure how to post in them!)

Loss assessors work for you, not the insurance company and make sure you get everything you're entitled too. My sister in law wouldn't have thought to claim for a number of things the assessor pointed out and they also deal with the whole claim and sort out surveyors etc. Loss adjustors work for the insurance company, not you.

This is a link to a loss assessors blog who explain what they do, and they have other info on how to prevent fires and insurance tips etc on their fb page

Hopefully it might help some fellow people

Thanks

A Public Adjuster works for the property owner, not the insurance company. During the claims process your adjuster will take a physical inventory, obtain all relevant appraisals and ensure that all provisions of your policy are satisfied.
