Need Help in Dealing with a Public Adjuster?

Whether you are dealing with an adjuster right now, or want to be prepared in the future, there are some things you should know. Steven B. Pollack, an attorney that specifically deals with insurance claims, has an informative article you should read that will help you understand what a public adjuster can do and what they can't.

In his article, Your Rights When You Hire A Public Adjuster in Illinois, he explains that, "Under most circumstances, only a licensed attorney may represent another in a contract negotiation like the insurance claims process. Because public adjusters are not attorneys they are not subject to the strict ethical and professional rules guiding the legal profession." Yes, it is written for Illinois residents, but it is a good starting point for everyone to be more educated about the rights of public adjusters. If you want to learn about what rights public adjusters have in your state, you can find out by contacting your state insurance commissioner.
