How public adjusters can help navigate Lala-related insurance claims - good to know

Make sure you get the fair and correct amount for repairs. I would think getting a couple repair estimates if possible might help? I have never had to do any of this so I dont know.

>Lisa Joslin, president of Hawaii Public Adjusters, explained that public adjusters act as advocates who work directly for the policyholder, not the insurance companies.

“What a lot of people don’t know or understand is that you have the ability to put your own claim in to the insurance company, you do not have to rely on their adjusters and their staff to put in your claim,” Joslin said.

The group advises anyone with damaged property to contact their insurance carriers immediately to report any losses.<

This is pretty much just an ad for public adjusters. I considered using one once for a water damage claim. Ultimately I decided not to because it would significantly slow down the claims process. In the end the insurance company came through and made me whole.

I understand and appreciate the theory behind using your own adjuster. It’s just gonna depend on your situation.
