Continental Adjusters is an international Professional Loss Consulting firm exclusively representing building owners, company owners and property management companies in negotiations with their insurance company. Continental Adjusters provides expert analysis of losses to buildings, contents and business interruption insurance claims caused by catastrophic events (Hail, Fire, Wind, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.).

Continental Adjusters assesses coverage, determines scope, estimates the loss, fully documents data and then presents, reviews and explains that data to the insurance company on behalf of our client (the policyholder) to ensure the client maximizes the funds they ultimately receive from their insurance company.

In January 2010, The Florida Office of Program Policy Analysis & Government Accountability (OPPAGA) released their report regarding public adjusters titled “Public adjuster representation in Citizens Property Insurance Corporation Claims Extends the Time to reach a Settlement and also Increases Payments to Citizens Policyholders”.

The findings:  For claims related to 2005 hurricanes – Policyholders that engaged the services of a public adjuster – the resulting insurance payments were 747% higher.  Furthermore, “For non-catastrophe claims, policyholders who used public adjusters received an estimated 574%” more.
