Public Adjusters Tampa, FL
Tampa Public Adjuster – Lioness Claims, LLC – We fight for you
The Tampa Bay area is full of life as it is one of the largest business centers in Florida. Tampa is filled with attractions and great nightlife and dining. Tampa itself has a large population estimated above 400,000 people. Unfortunately, Tampa and surrounding areas are susceptible to hurricanes and storm/wind damage impacting residential and business properties. Tampa and surrounding areas have been affected in years past with little relief from insurance carriers. Instead, they have been met with higher rates, less coverage, and more denied claims. At Lioness Claims, we specialize in denied claims and even prefer them. We love helping others, so we opened an office in central Florida because there is a need for a real advocate who does not treat you like a number, but instead has a vested interest in getting claims closed as soon as possible with maximum payout. At Lioness Claims, we believe in communication above all else. Keeping homeowners updated on the status of their claim is paramount. We are public adjusters who try to build relationships with our clients. We truly care about your loss and how it affects your life and livelihood.
The Need for Public Adjusters in Tampa, FL
Tampa’s unique climate and geography mean that residents and business owners often face various potential property damage risks, including hurricanes, floods, fire, and theft. These natural and man-made disasters can cause significant financial and emotional strain on individuals and businesses alike. This is where the expertise of public adjusters in Tampa, FL becomes invaluable.
WHY HIRE A PUBLIC ADJUSTER?
- Get referrals from other people you know who may have used a public adjuster in the past. You can also find adjusters in your area through the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (FAPIA), or the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA).
- Public Adjusters who are qualified through IICRC in water damage, fire restoration, odor control, health and safety, OSHA, etc., are committed to continuing their education, which allows them to be more beneficial when helping insureds.
- Verify the adjuster is licensed in Florida. Many state insurance departments, which regulate public adjusters, let you verify a license online.
- Ask the public adjuster for references – getting three is always good.
- Read the contract and understand the fees before hiring a public adjuster.
- Stay away from anyone who comes to your door unsolicited, demands an upfront fee or pressures you to sign a contract.
- A public adjuster only has to take a 40 hour class and pass a test to obtain their license. That DOES NOT mean they have the expertise and experience to adequately handle a complex claim or denial.
- Make sure the public adjuster is local to central Florida. When you call to discuss your claim, make sure you are talking to the adjuster that would be handling your claim. Sometimes you may be simply talking to a sales representative.
- The public adjuster should be able to provide information regarding how many claims they have worked in Tampa and surrounding areas.
- Check Google and other company reviews for the public adjuster and read the reviews and responses from the owner.
