Public Adjusters and Hurricane Ida Claims: What to Watch Out For

Public adjusters are all over the place after a hurricane, including Hurricane Ida. These adjusters follow disasters. Some are good; some are bad. It’s important to know how to tell the difference

  1. License Required – A public adjuster has to be licensed. Don’t be afraid to ask to see it!
  2. No Contingency Fees – A public adjuster is not allowed to charge you based on results. That means they can’t charge you a percentage of recovery OR tell you that you only have to pay them if they get you more.
  3. No Referral Fees – A public adjuster can’t accept compensation for referring you to an attorney or contractor. If they suggest someone, don’t be afraid to ask: “So, what do you get for the referral?” Make sure there is no quid pro quo!
  4. No Legal Advice – Public adjusters are NOT lawyers and can’t negotiate or provide legal advice or argument regarding your insurance claims. If part or all of your claim is denied, that is a legal issue for which you need a lawyer to negotiate, not a public adjuster.
  5. Know The Law – Louisiana Revised Statute 22:1706 spells out exactly what public adjusters are allowed to do, and what they’re NOT allowed to do. Read it for yourself here.

In all my 72 years I have not dealt with such a kind compassionate lawyer such as Jeff Green. He certainly knows how to get the job done. He also advises the client what to expect every step of the way. I highly recommend Jeff Green and the JJC Law Firm. You will NOT be disappointed.
