About Fire Damage Claims

A fire can destroy a building in minutes, but the aftermath unfolds over months of cleanup, repairs, and insurance negotiations. Many fire victims do not realize that smoke and soot can damage areas far beyond where flames reached, that water used to fight the fire causes its own damage, and that the cost of temporary housing and business interruption can be claimed as well.

Insurance companies send their own adjusters to fire scenes quickly — and those adjusters work for the insurer, not for you. JD Public Adjusters levels the playing field by conducting our own independent assessment that captures every covered loss your policy entitles you to recover.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does fire insurance cover?

Standard fire coverage includes structural damage, smoke and soot damage, water damage from firefighting, personal property losses, and additional living expenses while your home is uninhabitable. We ensure all categories are included in your claim.

The insurance company already sent an adjuster. Is it too late?

No. You can hire a public adjuster at any point in the claims process, including after an initial settlement offer has been made. We frequently recover additional funds on claims that were already "settled."
