Frequently Asked Questions

What does a public adjuster do?

A public adjuster is your personal insurance claim advocate, working for you, not the insurance company. When you file a claim, the insurance company sends their adjuster to assess the damage and decide your payout. A public adjuster levels the playing field by protecting your interests throughout the claims process.

Public adjusters are licensed experts in insurance policies. They inspect damage, document losses, prepare estimates, and negotiate with your insurer to maximize your settlement. They handle the paperwork, deadlines, and communication so you don’t have to.

At Hunter Claims, our public adjusters have recovered millions for clients who were offered low settlements or denied claims. We know the tactics insurers use to minimize payouts and fight back with expertise. Our clients typically receive settlements 2-3 times higher than the original offer.

You pay nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the additional money we recover for you.

When should I contact Hunter Claims?

You should contact Hunter Claims as soon as possible after any property damage occurs or if you’re unhappy with your insurance company’s response to your claim. The sooner you involve a public adjuster, the better we can protect your interests and maximize your settlement.

Contact us immediately if:
• Your property has been damaged by fire, water, wind, hail, or any other covered peril
• Your insurance company has denied your claim
• You received a settlement offer that seems too low
• Your claim has been delayed for weeks or months
• You’re overwhelmed by the claims process and paperwork
• Your insurance adjuster hasn’t returned your calls

It’s never too late to call Hunter Claims – even if you’ve already accepted a settlement, we may be able to reopen your claim and recover additional compensation. Many policyholders don’t realize they have the right to challenge their insurance company’s initial offer.

We handle all the stress and complexity while you focus on getting your life back to normal. Our expertise ensures you receive every dollar you’re entitled to under your policy.

Don’t wait! contact Hunter Claims today for a free consultation and claim review.

What types of claims do you handle?

Hunter Claims handles virtually all types of property damage claims, with proven expertise across residential and commercial properties. We specialize in maximizing settlements for complex claims that insurance companies often undervalue.

Our specialty areas include:
• Storm damage – Wind, hail, tornado, and hurricane damage to roofs, siding, windows, and structures
• Fire damage – Structure fires, smoke damage, and fire suppression system damage
• Water damage – Burst pipes, roof leaks, flooding, and plumbing failures
• Mold claims – Remediation and property damage from mold growth
• Vandalism and theft – Break-ins, graffiti, and stolen property
• Business interruption – Lost income due to covered property damage
• Contents claims – Damaged personal belongings and inventory

We also handle:
• Slip and fall incidents on your property
• Vehicle impact damage
• Fallen tree damage

Hunter Claims has successfully recovered millions for clients across all claim types. Our adjusters understand the unique challenges each type of damage presents and know exactly how to document and present your case for maximum compensation.

No claim is too large or too complex – we have the resources and expertise to handle multi-million dollar commercial losses and intricate residential claims alike.

Do I need a public adjuster if I already filed a claim?

Absolutely! Even after filing a claim, a public adjuster can significantly improve your outcome. In fact, many of our most successful cases involve claims already in progress.

Here’s how Hunter Claims helps after you’ve filed:
• Review your existing claim – We identify missed damage and undervalued losses your insurance adjuster overlooked
• Challenge low settlement offers – Most initial offers are far below what you’re entitled to receive
• Handle claim disputes – If your insurer is delaying, denying, or underpaying, we fight back with expertise
• Reopen closed claims – Many settlements can be reopened if new damage is discovered or the original assessment was inadequate
• Navigate complex paperwork – We ensure all documentation meets insurance company requirements
• You have rights throughout the entire claims process.

Insurance companies often count on policyholders accepting their first offer without question. Our clients who hire us after filing typically see their settlements increase by 200-300%.

Time is critical – most states have deadlines for challenging claim decisions or reopening cases. The sooner you contact Hunter Claims, the more options we have to maximize your settlement.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Contact Hunter Claims today for a free review of your existing claim – you may be surprised by how much additional compensation we can recover.

How is Hunter Claims paid?

Hunter Claims operates on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay absolutely nothing upfront – no retainer fees, no hourly charges, and no out-of-pocket expenses.

Here’s how our payment structure works:
• No upfront costs – We handle your claim at no initial cost to you
• We only get paid when you do – Our fee comes from the additional money we
recover for your claim
• Percentage-based fee – We take a percentage only of the extra settlement amount we secure above what your insurance company originally offered
• Risk-free for you – If we don’t increase your settlement, you don’t owe us anything

Why this works in your favor:
Hunter Claims is motivated to maximize your settlement because our success depends entirely on your success. The more we recover for you, the better the outcome for both parties. This alignment of interests ensures we fight harder and work more efficiently than traditional hourly billing.

Most clients find that even after paying our fee, they still receive significantly more money than they would have gotten on their own – typically 2-3 times their original insurance offer.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We handle all the work, take all the risk, and you only pay us from the additional compensation we recover for you.
Contact Hunter Claims today for a free consultation and see how much more your claim could be worth.

What if my insurance company already gave me an offer?

Don’t accept their first offer! Insurance companies routinely make lowball initial offers, hoping you’ll settle quickly without questioning the amount. At Hunter Claims, we’ve seen countless cases where policyholders accepted offers that were 50-70% less than what they were actually entitled to receive.

Here’s what Hunter Claims can do with your existing offer:
• Comprehensive offer review – We analyze your settlement against your policy coverage and actual damage scope
• Identify missed damages – Insurance adjusters often overlook hidden damage, code upgrade requirements, and additional living expenses
• Uncover undervalued losses – We ensure depreciation calculations, material costs, and labor rates reflect current market prices
• Challenge inadequate assessments – Many initial inspections are rushed and incomplete

Real results from our clients:
• Original offer: $15,000 → Final settlement: $45,000
• Original offer: $75,000 → Final settlement: $180,000
• Original offer: $8,500 → Final settlement: $28,000

You have the right to negotiate – accepting an insurance company’s first offer is almost never in your best interest. Most policies allow time to review and challenge settlement amounts, and we know exactly how to leverage this to your advantage.

The best part? You risk nothing by having us review your offer. If we can’t increase your settlement, you don’t pay us anything. If we do increase it, you still walk away with significantly more money than the original offer.

Don’t leave money on the table. Contact Hunter Claims today for a free offer review and discover what your claim is really worth.
