Hurricane Ian

Our firm has established an office in Ft. Myers so our licensed public adjusters can better serve homeowners and buisnesses who have been impacted. If you have experienced commercial or residential property damage from Hurricane Ian please accept our sympathy and best wishes for a speedy recovery. The combination of wind and flood damage will likely complicate the insurance claims process and we often find that policyholders become confused about how to properly navigate the insurance claims process and determine if they are being properly compensated for their storm damages.

This is where a public adjuster who specializes in handling property damage insurance claims can help to value, file and negotiate your claim. Don’t wait to get a low ball offer or for your insurance claim to be denied. Relying on the insurance company to keep your best interest in mind may not always be the best option. Getting a public insurance adjuster involved early in your claim can help you avoid claim mistakes and free up time to get your life back together while an experienced adjuster that works on your behalf manages your claim.

When you hire us to represent your claim, we perform these services exclusively for you:

• Analyze your insurance policy to ensure maximum claim coverage.
• Inspect the property damage and estimate all losses with our computerized system.
• Notify the insurance company of your loss and submit accurate documentation of the loss.
• Coordinate appointments with insurance company staff and provide them with preliminary estimates for building and contents damage and loss of business accounting figures.
• Negotiate with insurance company for a fair and equitable settlement.
• Prepare all documents in order to obtain final payment.

Our public adjusters are hired by you, the policyholder, to help navigate the claims process and address the many settlement issues, such as lowball offers that can arise as residents attempt to repair their damaged property and acheive a fair claim settlement. We know from past storms that insurance companies will sometimes pay out as little as possible to minimize their losses. This often means that policyholders receive less compensation than they are rightfully owed. Since 1984, the licensed public adjusters at Tutwiler & Associates have worked exclusively on behalf of the policyholder to properly value your loss, take over the stressful process of managing your claim and negotiating a fair settlement while you focus on getting your business and family back together. Statistics show that policyholders who hire their own adjuster receive more for their claim than those who go it alone.

If you need assistance or advice, our Florida insurance claim adjusters are available for a free no obligation review of your loss. Call Tutwiler & Associates Public Adjusters at 813-287-8090 or contact us.
