Why hire a licensed public adjuster in South Carolina
Works for you, not the carrier
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.
Documents losses the carrier takes seriously
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.
Only gets paid if you recover
Contingency-fee billing means no out-of-pocket cost. The percentage is disclosed in writing upfront and regulated by state law.
Handles denials, underpayments, and supplements
Even a claim you already settled can be reopened. Supplements on missed line items are common — and often substantial.
Representative outcomes
Typical public adjuster results on common claim types in South Carolina. Actual outcomes depend on policy language, damage, and timing.
Full roof replacement where a patch was offered
Roofing
A Charleston homeowner was offered a partial-slope patch after a storm. Matching-shingles analysis and state-specific matching statute arguments converted the decision to a full roof replacement — with manufacturer-specified ice-and-water shield, drip edge, and code-required upgrades included.
Reopened claim, corrected scope, better recovery
Reopen & supplement
An initial carrier estimate missed several covered line items. Careful scope review, supporting photographs, and code-required documentation resulted in a supplemental payment materially larger than the original offer — returning the policyholder closer to whole.
Carriers public adjusters commonly handle

Questions people ask
What does a public adjuster actually do?
A licensed public adjuster works for you — the policyholder — not the insurance company. They document your damage, interpret your policy, and negotiate directly with the carrier so you recover the full amount you're owed. Capital Claims Group handles the paperwork, inspections, and calls so you can focus on getting your life back together.
How does a public adjuster get paid in South Carolina?
Public adjusters in South Carolina work on contingency — a percentage of the settlement they recover. There's no upfront cost. If you don't recover, you don't pay. Fee percentages are regulated by state law and disclosed in writing before any work begins.
When is the right time to hire a public adjuster?
The earlier the better. Bringing Capital Claims Group in before you file (or right after you file) means the damage gets documented properly from the start. But even after a denial, delay, or lowball settlement, a public adjuster can re-open the claim and pursue a supplement — South Carolina law allows it.
Will hiring a public adjuster slow down my claim?
The opposite, usually. Carriers respond faster when there's a licensed professional managing the paper trail, deadlines, and inspections. Capital Claims Group knows what documentation the carrier needs and how to move the claim forward without the back-and-forth that stalls most homeowners.
What's the difference between a public adjuster and a field adjuster?
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 you. Same job title — opposite sides of the table.
