Public Adjusters Serving St. Croix With Local Knowledge and Past Experience
From Christiansted to Frederiksted, WorldClaim insurance adjusters and support staff can help you navigate your insurance claim through to favorable settlement
Choosing to use an independent public adjuster for your St. Croix commercial or residential insurance claim is the best decision you can make for your business’s or family’s future. It would be nice to believe that the insurance companies adjusters will operate with an unbiased view, but even with the best of intentions these adjusters have a built in conflict of interest as they represent their employer first and foremost. It is truly amazing that the industry operates with this built in bias, whereby the payer expects the insured to utilize their resources without question as to fairness of representation. We think the thought of negotiating a settlement without a public adjuster working to protect your rights is unthinkable.
We have settled claims in St. Croix before in the aftermath of past historic hurricanes, and are currently available to help settle Hurricane Irma claims on your behalf quickly and favorably.
On average we obtain increases in client’s settlements by 47.5% from initial offer. That’s staggering in and of itself, however when you think about the fact that many of our claims settled at well over a +100% margin to original offer, you realize that in many cases, maybe even yours, the help of a qualified public adjuster from WorldClaim may mean the difference between success and failure of your business, or family’s well being.
