What happens to your Hurricane Milton claim once the adjuster leaves?
Many people might be surprised that having an adjuster look at your damage after a storm like Hurricane Milton is only the beginning of the insurance claim process. The field adjuster that inspected your property may not be an employee of the insurance company.
