More value, less resistance

Many Americans don't realize that working with a public adjuster is an option. That's okay if you fall into that category. You're not alone. The fact is, the insurance provider you've been paying your premiums to is actually fighting to minimize your claim value. That's where we come in, standing firm in your corner to get you the maximum amount for your insurance claim. The benefits of working with a public insurance adjuster include:

  • A faster resolution time for your claim
  • Undivided attention to your case
  • Organization and preparation of otherwise confusing documents
  • The highest judgment for your insurance claim possible

Also know that public adjuster services from Melo Property Claims have no up-front costs or strings attached. With contingency-based pricing, our fees are just a small percentage of the amount we negotiate on the overage of your original claim. Don't settle for the initial amount offered by your insurance carrier's adjuster. Get a second opinion, learn what your claim is worth, and receive the payout you deserve.

Claims Settlement and Mediation

When your insurance company won't move on its number, a claim can stall for months. Our public adjusters take over the back-and-forth for you: we put a documented, line-by-line estimate in front of the carrier's adjuster and negotiate until the settlement reflects what the repairs really cost. If the dispute goes to appraisal or mediation, we stay with you through it. We handle:

  • A detailed estimate of every part of the damage
  • The policy language the insurer is leaning on
  • Every call and letter with the carrier's adjuster
  • Appraisal and mediation when talks stall

We will explain your policy to you in plain terms along the way, so you always know where your claim stands. Initial consultations are FREE, so call to learn more right now!
