VIP Adjusting is a licensed public adjuster based in Charleston, SC, who represents policyholders — not carriers — through every stage of the claims process. From the initial inspection to the final check, VIP Adjusting documents, negotiates, and advocates on your behalf.

You only pay if you recover — a percentage of what's collected. No recovery, no fee.
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.
Typical public adjuster results on common claim types in South Carolina. Actual outcomes depend on policy language, damage, and timing.
A contained kitchen fire left structural damage limited — but smoke and soot traveled through the HVAC into every room. The carrier's initial scope treated contents as cleanable. Line-by-line inventory, independent hygienist testing, and non-salvageable declarations for soft goods brought contents recovery from about $9K to over $50K, plus ALE for the family's temporary stay.
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.
If your policy is with any of these, VIP Adjusting can help.

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. VIP Adjusting handles the paperwork, inspections, and calls so you can focus on getting your life back together.
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.
The earlier the better. Bringing VIP Adjusting 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.
The opposite, usually. Carriers respond faster when there's a licensed professional managing the paper trail, deadlines, and inspections. VIP Adjusting knows what documentation the carrier needs and how to move the claim forward without the back-and-forth that stalls most homeowners.
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.
