If that happens to you, you must contact your insurance agent to submit a property damage claim. To process your claim, your insurance agency will ask an adjuster to estimate the amount of damage your home has sustained. According to the Illinois Department of Insurance, if the event that caused damage to your home affected several other homes, you may also be approached by a public adjuster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The same website explains that a public adjuster is not associated with your insurance company. If you want to work with a public adjuster, (especially if they imply they can get you a better settlement,) you will sign a contract with the adjuster and be responsible for paying the adjuster&rsquo;s fee. &nbsp;Adjusters sent by your insurance company will be paid by the insurance company. You may be interested to learn that public adjusters must be licensed by the Department of Insurance.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Us Today for Your Appointment&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to making decisions about your home, you&#8217;ll want to be sure you make the best possible choices.
