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.

They are typically independent adjusters on contract and typically are paid a set fee or percentage for each claim they handle. This is especially true during disaster situations when there are so many claims to adjust, there is a shortage of qualified adjusters, and they are hard pressed to get to as many claims as possible. Ask what firm they are with when they come to inspect your property and note how thorough they are recording your damage and if they are “listening” to you.
