Issued by Massachusetts Department of Insurance
A licensed public adjuster is the only claims professional legally allowed to represent you — the policyholder. Field adjusters and independent adjusters work for the insurance company.
Claims move faster and pay fairer when the paperwork, photos, and scope of loss are prepared the way carriers expect. That's the whole job.
Contingency-fee billing means no out-of-pocket cost. The percentage is disclosed in writing upfront and regulated by state law.
Even a claim you already settled can be reopened. Supplements on missed line items are common — and often substantial.
Illustrative examples of how common claim types unfold in Massachusetts — general education, not results of Michael Lynn. Actual outcomes depend on policy language, damage, and timing.
A common scenario: a supply line fails overnight and part of a ceiling comes down. Initial carrier scopes often cover cosmetic drywall repair and only a fraction of the flooring. Thorough moisture mapping, cabinet-box damage documentation, and code-required electrical work frequently expand the covered scope enough to bring a home back to pre-loss condition.
Carriers sometimes deny roof replacement after a hail event, calling the damage cosmetic. A fresh inspection with calibrated roof-test squares, shingle mat cross-sections, and NOAA storm-data pairing can establish whether a supportable replacement case exists — and denials do get reversed when the documentation holds up.
Initial carrier estimates frequently miss covered line items. Careful scope review, supporting photographs, and code-required documentation are the basis for supplemental payments — the standard path for returning a policyholder closer to whole after an underpaid claim.

A licensed public adjuster works for the policyholder — not the insurance company. They document damage, interpret the policy, and negotiate with the carrier on the policyholder's behalf, handling the paperwork, inspections, and calls throughout the claim.
Public adjusters typically work on contingency — a percentage of the settlement they recover — with fee terms regulated by state law and disclosed in a written contract before work begins. Ask any adjuster to walk you through their fee agreement up front.
Generally, the earlier the better: involving one before or right after filing means the damage gets documented properly from the start. Even after a denial, delay, or low settlement, a public adjuster may be able to reopen the claim and pursue a supplement.
Usually the opposite. Carriers tend to respond faster when a licensed professional is managing the paper trail, deadlines, and inspections, because the documentation arrives in the form carriers expect.
A field adjuster works for the insurance company — they come out to assess damage on the carrier's behalf. A public adjuster works only for the policyholder. Same job title — opposite sides of the table.
