Why Public Adjusters Are Essential: The Truth About Insurance Claim Settlements

Need to file an insurance claim? A public claims adjuster could be your strongest ally to get the settlement you deserve. At Sill Public Adjusters, we’ve seen firsthand how the right representation changes outcomes. Homeowners and business owners who hire a public adjuster for catastrophe claims typically receive payouts thousands of dollars higher than those who don’t.

Let’s talk about public adjusters and why having Sill on your side makes all the difference. These licensed professionals work only for you — not the insurance company. They take care of your claim’s complex details while you focus on recovery. Our experts routinely help clients secure settlements 40–700% higher than insurance companies’ original offers. In one Ohio case, a Chagrin Falls homeowner saw their initial $22,000 offer increase to $68,000 after partnering with Sill.

What is a Public Adjuster and How Are They Different?

Most property owners are unaware that they have a crucial ally when dealing with insurance claims. That’s where Sill Public Adjusters comes in — helping level the playing field between policyholders and powerful insurance carriers.

Public adjusters are licensed insurance professionals who work only for policyholders — not insurance companies. They prepare, present, and settle insurance claims for the insured, representing your best interests at every step.

Public adjusters must:
- Pass a licensing exam
- Post a bond
- Complete specialized education and background checks

At Sill, our adjusters meet and exceed these standards, combining technical expertise with decades of experience handling fire, storm, water, and business interruption claims across the U.S.
