Adjusters International

Adjusters International

Adjusters International, formed in 1985, is a public adjusting and disaster recovery company, who assists clients with financial recovery from insurance claims and FEMA grants. The company's headquarters is in Utica, New York. It has more than 40 regional offices across the United States.http://www.adjustersinternational.com/about.cfm]

Public insurance adjusters represent clients for a small percentage of the resulting settlement money from the insurance claim. Adjusters mostly represent clients who have been victim to property damage or loss. Most cases involve natural disasters including: fires, floods, hurricanes, frost damages, burglaries, and earthquakes.

Public adjusters are the only type of claims adjuster that can legally represent the rights of an insured during an insurance claim process.
