Turn Initial Lowball Insurance Offers Into Fully Funded Repairs
Initial insurance loss estimates almost always leave money on the table. Insurance adjusters frequently leave out critical repair steps, apply excessive depreciation, use artificially low local labor rates, and refuse to pay for contractor Overhead & Profit. Trying to argue with trained insurance adjusters on your own leads to frustration and unpaid bills.
Don't let the insurance company take advantage of you. Our public adjusters step in as your personal advocates to unlock hidden claim money. We audit current or past claims, submit detailed supplements, and compel your carrier to release full replacement cost funds so your home gets repaired right. Call us right away to get representation started!

When is the best time to hire a Public Adjuster after a fire, flood, or burglary in Nevada?
The best time to hire a Public Adjuster is right after a disaster so your claim is set up correctly from day one. However, you can hire one anytime during an open claim, after receiving an insufficient offer, or to reopen a denied claim in Nevada—especially if you feel your insurance company is holding back what you deserve.
Let's get you started
You owe it to yourself to see how much more you deserve.
YOUR Rights After a Catastrophe
When you suffer a catastrophe, your insurance policy is a legally binding contract that grants you specific rights to fair treatment, timely communication, and rightful compensation under the law.
Your Rights After a Catastrophe
Statutory Rights Under Nevada Law: Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 684A & NRS 686A.310) establish mandatory protections against unfair settlement practices, guaranteeing policyholder rights throughout the catastrophe claims process.
Right to Fair and Prompt Handling: Insurance companies owe you an implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. They must acknowledge, investigate, and settle your claim without unreasonable delay. Many state laws require insurers to acknowledge a claim within a specific timeframe (often around 15 days) and accept or deny it shortly after receiving proof of loss.
Right to Clear Information and Documentation: You have the right to receive full copies of your policy documents, terms, exclusions, investigation reports, and any correspondence related to your claim. If your claim is denied or partially paid, the insurer must give you a clear, written explanation of the decision.
Right to Additional Living Expenses (ALE): If a disaster makes your home uninhabitable, your policy's "loss of use" clause entitles you to reimbursement for reasonable additional living expenses. This covers the extra costs of temporary housing (like a hotel) and food compared to your normal daily routine.
Right to Choose Your Own Contractors: While insurers may recommend repair companies, you have the right to hire your own licensed, reputable, and qualified contractors to rebuild or repair your property.
Public Adjuster Advocacy: Claimants have the legal right to hire an independent, state-licensed Public Adjuster to exclusively represent their financial interests and fight for maximum settlement recovery.
Right to Appeal or Dispute a Payout: If you believe the insurer’s settlement offer is too low or unfairly depreciated (Actual Cash Value vs. Replacement Cost), you have the right to contest the decision, hire an independent or public adjuster, or seek legal counsel.
Right to Privacy and Protection from Penalties: You should not face unfair penalties or policy actions simply for making inquiries about your coverage or filing a legitimate catastrophe claim.
Fair Recovery & Full Compensation: Exercising statutory protections guarantees full, itemized financial recovery reflecting the true scope of property loss so policyholders are fully made whole.

Steps and Guidelines to Protect Your Rights
Review the Post-Disaster Guide: Consult the NAIC Post-Disaster Claims Guide for a step-by-step checklist on securing your property and documenting losses.
Mitigate Further Damage: Take reasonable, safe steps to prevent additional damage (such as covering a broken roof with a tarp), and keep all receipts for emergency repairs. Do not make permanent structural repairs before the insurance adjuster has inspected the damage and authorized the work.
Understand Policy Limits and Deductibles: Be aware that catastrophe events—such as named storms, hurricanes, or earthquakes—may carry separate percentage-based deductibles rather than a standard flat dollar amount
3 Steps to Protect Your Claim Immediately:
Document & Mitigate: Take safe, temporary steps to prevent further damage (e.g., tarping a roof) and save all repair receipts.
Hold Off on Permanent Repairs: Do not perform permanent structural work until an adjuster inspects the property.
Know Your Deductible: Be aware that catastrophes may carry percentage-based deductibles rather than standard flat amounts.
