About Insurance Claim Hero

Insurance Claim Hero LLC was founded by Andy Rouhafzai after he personally experienced what too many policyholders face: two burst-pipe water damage claims, shady adjuster tactics, delayed responses, and a wrongful denial. He founded ICH in 2023 so no one else has to fight that battle alone. As a licensed Texas public adjuster, Andy works exclusively for policyholders — never the carrier — handling the documentation, negotiations, and follow-through so you can focus on getting your life back. ICH operates on a contingency basis: if you don't recover, you don't pay.

Why hire a licensed public adjuster in Texas

  • 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.

Past work

Full RCV payoutHail Damage

Austin Hail Storm — Carrier Undervalued Roof by 60%

A Round Rock homeowner received an initial estimate covering only cosmetic repairs after a major hail event. ICH re-inspected the property, documented full structural damage to the roof deck and gutters, and negotiated a complete replacement-cost settlement.

Denial reversedWater Damage

Wrongfully Denied Water Damage — Cedar Park

Carrier denied a burst-pipe water loss citing a "gradual leak" exclusion. ICH engaged an independent plumber, documented the sudden failure, and successfully reversed the denial — securing full remediation and repair coverage.

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. Insurance Claim Hero handles the paperwork, inspections, and calls so you can focus on getting your life back together.

How does a public adjuster get paid in Texas?

Public adjusters in Texas 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 Insurance Claim Hero 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 — Texas 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. Insurance Claim Hero 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.
