What are public adjusters?
A Public Adjuster is the only entity other than the insured (property owner) that is legally able to represent the interests of the insured and negotiate with the insurance company. Public Adjusters are to the world of property insurance claims what lawyers are to the world of courtrooms. Typical General Contractors including "insurance restoration contractors" do not have the experience and licensing required to deal with your insurance company, we do! Contractor's are not able to represent you or negotiate with your insurer on your behalf in most jurisdictions, unless they are also licensed as a Public Adjuster.
Why should you choose Dottrio?
Don't be the next victim of an inexperienced Contractor who is attempting to illegally operate as an unlicensed Public Adjuster. Deal with the pros at Dottrio where our insurance industry experience is second to none. We have extensive experience in insurance restoration contracting, insurance claim appraisals, insurance claim umpire services, and claims adjustments for policyholders. While a Public Adjuster license grants the holder the legal authority necessary to represent an insured (property owner) in a property loss it is not the only helpful credential in dealing with the insurance industry. A licensed skilled contractor is able to explain how and why the band-aid approach insurance companies tend to take in repairs is not the appropriate fix in most cases. These cost cutting methods put into place by insurance carriers are in the best interest of the insurance carrier not the property owner. With unsurpassed knowledge, skills, and credentials Dottrio is your best bet for commercial or residential property damage claims resulting from: fire, smoke, wind, water, hail, hurricane, tornado, storm, pipe bursts, burglary, vandalism, and other perils.
