Norristown Public Adjusters Near You
When a storm, fire, or burst pipe damages your Norristown property, your insurance company sends its own adjuster to represent its interests. So who's protecting you? Property owners across Montgomery County level the playing field by hiring a licensed Pennsylvania Public Adjuster.
What’s a Pennsylvania Public Adjuster?
A Pennsylvania Public Adjuster is hired by you, the policyholder. Under state law, they aren't representatives or employees of your insurance company. They're independent professionals licensed by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department. A Norristown Public Adjuster reads your policy to determine what's covered, estimates what it will cost to repair your property, and negotiates your settlement with the insurance company for you.
Are Public Adjusters Licensed in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Under Pennsylvania's Public Adjuster Licensing Law (Act 72 of 1983, as amended by Act 21 of 2012), every Public Adjuster must pass a state exam, hold a license from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, and carry a surety bond of at least $20,000. They can't start work on your claim until you've signed a state-approved Public Adjuster Contract.
How Much Does a Public Adjuster Charge?
Norristown Public Adjusters work on contingency, so their fee comes out of your claim payments—not your pocket up front. Pennsylvania requires that fee to be written into your contract as a percentage or a maximum dollar amount. Your adjuster takes a share of each check as it arrives, never the whole fee from the first one, and can’t charge you late fees or collection costs.
Know Your Rights as a Policyholder
Changed your mind? Pennsylvania gives you at least three calendar days after signing to cancel in writing, and your contract will spell out your exact deadline. Once hired, your Public Adjuster must notify your insurer within two calendar days and send you every settlement offer in writing within 5 business days. You can also keep talking to your insurer directly. Pennsylvania law doesn't allow a Public Adjuster to cut off that communication.
