Texas Licensed Public Adjusters Can Exceed Your Expectations

When you have a disaster in your home, you are negotiating with your insurance company as well as dealing with repairs. You hire a public adjuster in order to make certain the insurance company is treating you fairly. The last thing you need to worry about is whether your public adjuster is misrepresenting you or working fraudulently.

What is the difference between an unlicensed and licensed public adjuster?

According to a recent article in Claims Journal,

Unlicensed public adjusters undergo no training, examination, certification or review by state regulatory authorities. They have no fiduciary duty to the policyholder, and are bound by no professional regulations. Often, the only penalties they may face could be civil claims by the homeowner or property owner, or – if they commit fraud – possible criminal charges. . .

Sometimes unlicensed public adjusters also promote themselves as contractors, too. This is a problem because they are then motivated by their own profits rather than helping you, the client. Often these unlicensed adjusters “double-dip” by taking a portion of the insurance funds as well as payment for their work which they may or may not ever complete. According to House Bill #1183, this is against Texas law.
