Wondering what the difference is between independent adjusters and Global Claims? Learning the difference can help make filing your next claim a much less stressful experience. While these two types of adjusters may sound very similar, the roles that they play in the way they handle your claims is much different.
Independent Adjusters
Think private independent adjusters are indeed “independent”? Think again! Independent adjusters actually work on behalf of the insurance company to take care of claim settlements. Their job is to protect their employer, the insurance provider, and are looking after the best interest of the insurance company instead of the homeowner filing the claim. Insurance companies keep independent adjusters within their business to help them settle claims in a way that works best for them.
Global Claims
Unlike independent adjusters, Global Claims work on the behalf of the homeowner instead of the home insurance provider. Global Claims understand the rules and regulations and are able to get homeowners claims settled quickly and painlessly. Sometimes Global Claims are even able to get claims approved that were previously declined by the home insurance company. Most Global Claims charge a fee that is a percentage of the claim and can make up the difference with the value of their services.
The biggest difference between independent adjusters and global claims is usually the payout that clients receive. Most homeowners are offered less of a payout for their claims directly through independent adjusters with homeowner insurance policies. Global Claims are typically able to offer a much higher payout, and homeowners usually even leave with a little extra money in their pocket.
