Every day, our licensed public adjusters are contacted by businesses after they encounter damage to their property. Many commercial policyholders are surprised to learn that the insurance company simply doesn’t automatically just pay their insurance claim. 10 months after Hurricane Ian, business owners are still trying to put the pieces back together.

Understanding that professional assistance would help expedite their claim and deliver the necessary information in the format required by their insurance carrier, the owners of Sanibel Marina Yacht Sales & Service LLC retained public adjuster, Nick Chase to assist them in the claim adjustment process. Nick became the point of contact for helping to document and prove the extent of their loss from Hurricane Ian.

Mr. Chase attended numerous meetings and site inspections with adjusters, consultants, and engineers who were working on behalf of the insurance company. They were investigating property damage that were attributable to flood versus wind. Not trusting that the insurance company would make decisions that were in their best interest, the client knew the importance of having an advocate actively involved in the discussions who could represent their best interest.

Mr. Chase was instrumental in negotiating a fair claim settlement for his client at Sanibel Marina Yacht Sales. Wind losses totaled $847,000.  Ultimately, the client was satisfied that Mr. Chase’s representation  brought resolution to their business claim and allowed their business to initiate repairs and resume operations.

Should you or anyone you know need assistance with their business property insurance claim due to Hurricane Ian, please contact public adjuster Nick Chase for assistance or call 800-321-4488.
