Not necessarily. Even if you’ve already received some payment, it’s possible that additional damage or hidden losses remain. At Legacy Public Adjusters, we can review your situation and help with subsequent damage or claim adjustments. That said, hiring earlier gives you a better chance at maximizing your settlement.

While attorneys often handle legal issues, many property damage claims are best managed by a public adjuster, such as Legacy Public Adjusters, who specializes in evaluating damage, documenting loss, and negotiating with insurers. Hiring a public adjuster directly can save you the extra legal costs and ensure expertise in claims handling without unnecessary expense.

A public adjuster can handle many types of loss, including water damage, smoke/fire damage, storm/wind damage, theft/vandalism, and catastrophic losses. The typical process involves:

• A comprehensive damage evaluation (including hidden damage)
• Coordinating any emergency services (roof tarping, water mitigation, etc)
• Documenting and negotiating your claim with the insurer
• Overseeing the payout and ensuring you receive the proper settlement.

At Legacy Public Adjusters, you won’t pay up front. Instead, our team works on a contingent fee basis — meaning we only get paid when you receive a settlement. This aligns our interests with yours (getting the highest payout possible) and reduces your risk.
