GET THE BEST FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT

We work closely with you to help secure the best financial settlement under the terms and conditions of your insurance policy while ensuring that your claim is properly documented and correctly valued.

PRESENT ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR LOSS

We prepare and present claims for all aspects of your insured loss, including but not limited to building damage, business and residential personal property, tenant improvements, loss of rental income, business interruption and extra expense, equipment and machinery loss, and loss of use and additional living expense.

Measure and Value all Costs

We measure and document all costs under your replacement cost insurance, whether covered under the building coverage or personal property and contents coverage. Such costs include: design and engineering fees, code upgrades, hazardous materials abatement, and items that may require hiring professional valuation consultants for equipment, antiques and collectibles, precious books, collections, electronics, and other items that require specialized expertise.

WORK COOPERATIVELY

We work cooperatively with your insurance company’s adjusters and other insurance professionals to reach an agreement on the scope of repair, so you recover the cost to put back or replace the property that was lost.

“We searched far and wide for the best public adjuster and we were truly blessed we found Robert Crown. Without his guidance we would have proceeded blindly, much like going through a maze, not knowing where to turn, what to ask and when to ask it, and ultimately what the next steps were. Robert helped us see in the dark and illuminate the way forward. He patiently explained all our options and showed genuine compassion, thanks to his unique background, but mostly from his own heart. Robert is a true professional with great character and the utmost integrity.”

— Farland C., Homeowner

What is A Public Adjuster ?

A Public Adjuster works as an advocate for the policyholder in the insurance claim process.
Public Adjusters are licensed by the State. PAs safeguard the interests of policyholders.
Unrepresented property owners are at the mercy of their insurance company’s desire to protect its own bottom line.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF INSURANCE ADJUSTERS

When disaster strikes, property owners rely on insurance to recover their losses. However, insurance companies pay no more than they have to, which can result in delayed, reduced, or denied claims. This is where a Public Adjuster steps in to level the playing field. A policyholder hires a Public Adjuster to represent them. The Public Adjuster works to prove and recover the value of structural repairs, contents, living expenses, and loss of income. Crown Adjusting will carry the burden of the entire claims process.

THE PUBLIC ADJUSTER’S JOB IS TO:

In addition to managing your claim, Crown Adjusting will also connect you to relocation professionals, board-up services, designers, architects, engineers, builders, hygienists and cleaning experts, and personal property valuators.

How are Public Adjusters Compensated?

The Public Adjuster is usually compensated on a percentage of the actual proceeds paid. The percentage depends on the size and nature of the loss, but the Public Adjuster does not generally charge a fee on sums already paid by the insurance company. It is not unusual for a public adjuster to help the policyholder recover 50% more than the insurance company’s initial offer.

Most property owners are unaware that Public Adjusters even exist as an alternative to dealing directly with the insurance company. A skillful Public Adjuster can make a big difference in both the payout a policyholder recovers and the consumer’s experience going through the claims process. Public Adjusters handle all negotiations and communication with insurance companies, reducing stress and frustration for policyholders. Crown Adjusting’s expertise ensures thorough claim support, compliance with policy terms, and maximized damage assessment.

Why Choose Us

Crown Adjusting is a client-focused Public Adjusting firm, committed to excellence in every aspect of adjusting work and client relations. Unlike many other Public Adjusting firms, we do not handle a large volume of claims. Many public adjusting firms employ full-time salespeople to solicit and sign new clients, while handing off the actual claims work to overworked staff adjusters with heavy caseloads. As a result, these firms may not be able to dedicate a high level of professional attention to their many clients. At Crown Adjusting you will know from day one who is handling your claim, and you’ll rest assured that your claim is in the best of hands and will be resolved in a timely manner.
Property claims include residential claims, custom homes, apartment buildings, office complexes, retail businesses, and an array of industrial and mercantile properties, large and small. We limit the volume of losses we take on so that we are able to fully devote our expertise, time, and energies to every claim we handle. As such, the principals are personally involved in every claim we handle. This simple and test-proven business model works; just ask our current or former clients.
