WHAT IS A PUBLIC INSURANCE ADJUSTER?
Public Insurance Adjusters are professionals who are employed exclusively by a policyholder who has sustained an insured loss.
We handle every detail of the claim, working closely with the insured to provide the most equitable and prompt settlement possible. A Public Adjuster inspects the loss site immediately, analyzes the damages, assembles claim support data, reviews the insured’s coverage, determines current replacement costs and exclusively serves the client, not the insurance company.
There are three types of licensed adjusters:
- Company Adjuster – works directly for the insurance company to represent them in dealing with your loss and damages. Their main responsibility is to protect the interests of the insurance companies.
- Independent Adjuster – hired by the insurance company to represent them in dealing with your loss and damages. Their main responsibility is to protect the interests of the insurance companies.
- Public Insurance Adjuster – the only adjuster licensed by a state to represent you, the property owner. The Public Adjuster’s sole responsibility is to represent you and your interests, and to obtain a fair and equitable settlement for your loss and damages.
I would highly recommend Joe and RIA, who represented my Irma related insurance case very effectively. There is no way I could have represented myself and achieved anywhere close to the result that Joe and RIA were able to. Joe understands the details of insurance contracts, the state laws and the ins and outs of the whole adjustment process extremely well. I found communication to be clear and very straightforward, particularly when we reached points where I had a decision to make about which way to proceed. At the same time, I felt Joe was very honest and professional with the insurance carrier, adjusters and other representatives so that we could reach both a good and a fair outcome for both parties.

I was referred to Irene Villa as we were having some problems with an Insurance Claim. Irene was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the current state of the insurance industry in general. She gave me several ideas without taking our case. I was amazed how helpful she was without any company or personal gain. Thank you.

Joe did an assessment of our storm damage and represented us threw this process. Always informed us throughout his negotiation from assessmentof damages to the use of appraisal and umpire. Joe did a superb job and never backed down. Thank You Joe,Bob & Fran Federico

Recovery Insurance Adjusters did an outstanding job handling our claim. We had never used a public adjuster before, but we now know the value of their services. Joe, Cathleen, and Irene were a pleasure to work with and our successful outcome is the result of their expertise, determination and professional representation. We highly recommend RIA - they are truly the best!

RIA has an incredibly detail oriented and professional staff. Joe and Irene handled our slab leak claim from the start to the very end, and were able to negotiate an amount above our expectations. Irene was always accessible and returned calls in hours, not days. Do not attempt to handle a claim on your own, use these experts to advocate for your best interests.

In the end the insurance company paid the full loss and Recovery was consistent in emphasizing patience. Claim was from Hurricane Irma - so patience was key. Lesson learned that if you want to fight with the insurance company better to have someone like Recovery leading your change.

We asked Joe Connelly of Recovery Insurance Adjusters to help us out after Irma. We knew we had damage as a tree hit our home. Joe Connelly handled EVERYTHING. He inspected the damage done to our home himself spending hours doing so. He met with the insurance adjusters at our home pointing out damage that Irma had caused that the Insurance Company's adjuster never thought of addressing. Joe made all the phone calls to the insurance company. He was our representative to the insurance company and essentially lifted the chore of dealing with the insurance company off our shoulders. The bottom line is Joe was able to negotiate a fair settlement that was more than twice what the insurance company offered initially and well worth his small fee.I would strongly recommend Joe Connelly and Recovery Insurance Adjusters.

After returning from our vacation and finding that our master bedroom, master bathroom and pool side bathroom had been flooded because of a failed pipe valve, We called Recovery Insurance Adjusters. They took it from there and contacted our insurance company and negotiated with them on our behalf. The process was smooth and the recovery was smooth and the claim paid without any help from us. Thank you Joe Connelly and Recovery Insurance adjusters!

On NYE I found a leak in my kitchen that had been ongoing, I did some research and called RIA the next day. Irene came out 1/2 and did an assessment and took care of literally EVERYTHING. She called in a mold remediation company and dealt with our insurance company for our claim. We gave her receipts and kept in contact and she did as well. The entire process was made so easy because of RIA. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Joe Connelly from Recovery Insurance Adjusters and his assistant Cathleen Owen were extremely helpful and successful in obtaining monies from our insurance company to replace our roof after receiving damage from Hurricane Irma. It was a long process but that was because our Insurance Company was uncooperative. I would recommend this company and have already done so.

I highly recommend Joe Connelly and his team. Without their help, we never would have gotten our new roof. Our Insurance Company acknowledged the storm damage and then tried to say the damage was less than our deductible. We called Joe, and with his expertise and help, we were able to get a complete new roof, including skylights and gutters. I always recommend RIA to everyone I know.
