A National Footprint for a National Problem

25 States. One Mission: Advocating for Commercial Property Owners

When disaster strikes, insurance companies use the same playbook whether you’re in Minnesota, Florida, New York, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Their adjusters minimize scope, apply aggressive depreciation, and delay payments, expecting that policyholders will accept less than they deserve.

That’s why United Public Adjusters & Appraisers (UPA) has expanded our reach to 25+ states. No matter when or where catastrophe hits, commercial property owners have UPA as a commercial claims adjuster, and seasoned advocate, ready to protect their rights.

Who UPA Represents

We don’t handle small residential claims. Our clients own and manage high-value, complex properties that demand specialized expertise:

Unlike insurance staff adjusters who are trained for small losses, as your commercial claims adjuster, the UPA team understands large-loss systems, construction methods, and claim negotiations at scale.

United Public Adjusters & Appraisers’ Experience Transcends Geography

Whether it’s a freeze-up in Minnesota or hurricane-force winds in Florida, the challenges differ, but the insurer’s strategy is the same: delay, deny, and depreciate your commercial property damage claims.

United Public Adjusters & Appraisers has successfully represented clients’ commercial property damage claims for: 

  • Hurricanes: Florida, New York, U.S. Virgin Islands.
  • Freeze Events: Midwest and Northeast freeze-ups destroying plumbing and mechanical systems.
  • Windstorms: Midwest microbursts and derechos with hurricane-level force.
  • Fires: Commercial and institutional properties requiring complete mechanical/electrical rebuilds.

From each event, we carry forward hard-won lessons for:

  • Documenting hidden damage
  • Challenging unfair depreciation
  • Forcing carriers to pay full replacement cost

What Makes United Public Adjusters & Appraisers Different

  • Large-Loss Expertise: We specialize in claims exceeding $1M, often ranging $5M–$50M
  • Technical Collaboration: We include engineers, forensic specialists, and MEP experts on our team
  • Federal & Institutional Knowledge: From CMU block to advanced electrical systems, we know building types most adjusters have never encountered.
  • Negotiation Power: Carriers bring teams trained to minimize payouts; UPA’s mission is to level the playing field in your favor

Why Nationwide Coverage Matters

Storms don’t respect state borders. A freeze paralyzes one region while hurricanes devastate another. By maintaining licensing and expertise across 25+ states, UPA ensures clients receive the same caliber of advocacy for your commercial property damage claims whether you are in the Midwest, Northeast, or Southeast.

UPA’s Mission as a Commercial Claims Adjuster: Protecting Policyholders

Every claim we handle comes down to one mission: making your policy deliver on its promise.

  • Fighting delay tactics that leave businesses under tarps or displaced for months
  • Challenging depreciation schedules that unfairly slash payouts
  • Uncovering hidden damages insurers hope to overlook

UPA, Your Commercial Claims Adjuster, is Ready When You Need Us

If you’re managing a commercial property in any of the 25+ states we serve, don’t wait until the insurer hands you their “final number.” By then, they’ve already played their hand.

UPA knows the playbook, and we know how to beat it.
