A Texas Public adjuster is a state licensed insurance claims professional who will work with challenging your insurance company until a claim is
complete. They are not affiliated with an insurance company, public adjusters
work only for you, the policyholder, and their primary goal is to ensure that
you receive the full payout from your insurance claim.
There are three types of insurance adjusters you may come across in Texas:
Public Insurance Adjusters work for you and have
no affiliation with insurance companies.
Independent Adjusters contract their services to
insurance companies and work on their behalf.
Company Adjusters, or Staff Adjusters, work for
the insurance company directly, so their priority is to the company’s bottom
line.
Public Adjusters are the only type of claims adjusters that work on behalf of the policyholder and fight for you during the insurance claims settlement process.
Fees For Hiring A Public Adjuster In Texas
Public Adjusters in Texas typically follow the
percentage of claim payment fee structure. In rare cases, an adjuster may
charge a flat rate or an hourly rate, but the industry standard is to bill
consumers 10% of the entire claim amount or 25% of new money (new money is
additional money above and beyond what your carrier has already offered as a
settlement or already paid out). As dictated by Texas law, the fee percentage
will never exceed 10% of the total value of the claim. The fees charged are
agreed upon upfront between the policyholder and the public adjuster which is
detailed in writing in the form of a contract. Public Adjusters in Texas
typically work on a contingency basis, meaning they are not paid until the
final settlement has been received.
