Do we really need a Public Adjuster to handle our Insurance Claims?

In layman's terms, a public adjuster, also referred to as a public insurance adjuster or professional claims handler,  is simply someone who helps a policyholder settle their insurance claim. However, a more encompassing definition of the public adjuster is “an insurance professional who represents the interests of a policyholder by providing assistance in getting their insurance claim settlement through appraisals, documentation and negotiation." 

Another way to look at what is a public adjuster is by taking it from a legal aspect. Apart from the brokers of the record and attorney, the public insurance adjuster is the only class of claims adjuster that has the legal leeway to represent the rights of the insured during the insurance claim process.
