In the aftermath of a hurricane, business and commercial and industrial property owners are left to assess the impact on their enterprises. Rising water may have flooded their premises, winds may have ruptured roofing membranes, or hurled objects that shattered windows. At this point, there are many considerations: What is the extent of the damages/losses? What personal property has been damaged or destroyed as well? Where can my business/industry regroup? How long will/can I sustain business losses and revenue? When can my business be fully operational? Who will help me through this? Enter United Public Adjusters & Appraisers. It is our job to assist our clients during their time of greatest need. Before you submit a hurricane damage claim, wind damage claims, or flood damage claims, we invite you to contact our team. 

We are expert public adjusters who will help policyholders navigate the business property damage losses and recovery process. Our team of professionals is highly experienced in managing and settling your hurricane damage claim, wind damage claims, or flood damage claims with your insurance carrier. Additionally, we can assist you in managing how to mitigate damages without negatively impacting your operations. 

If you’ve already submitted a claim and perhaps received a settlement offer, it is not too late to call upon our professional services. You may not be aware, but your insurance adjuster does not work in your best interests. They work to maximize the insurance company’s profits. Statistically, however, claims that are negotiated by public adjusters bring about exponentially higher settlement offers. For this reason alone, although there are many others, it is especially important to contact United Public Adjusters & Appraisers for assistance with your claims process.

And, even if it appeared initially that your business and/or commercial property weathered the storm, well that may not be the case. All too often, within a few months, residual damages appear. These take the form of mold, ceiling and wall damage, damage to HVAC systems, and more. At that point, it may be too late to make a strong case for storm borne damages. At United Public Adjusters & Appraisers, we are skilled in seeing the ‘big picture’ for our clients. We are truly the friend in need who is available whenever you need us. 

Ideally, we’d like you to add our team to your disaster recovery program before you require our services. This way, when damage strikes, United Public Adjusters & Appraisers can successfully handle every aspect of your hurricane damage claim, wind damage claims, or flood damage claims from the onset. Our team will skillfully document both existing and potential damage, ensure that your claim(s) is submitted correctly, and assist in relocating your business to minimize downtime and lost revenue. Additionally, we will negotiate with your carrier to bring about the best possible insurance recovery settlement expeditiously in the least amount of time. We want to minimize your insurance burden, so you can focus on your core strengths – running your business. Our team works on a contingency basis, so there are no upfront out-of-pocket costs to you. We invite principals in your business, commercial, or industrial enterprise to schedule a confidential consultation with our team. Call now!
