Who works for the insured?
When the insurance company sends its adjuster to represent them, there is a key question:
Therefore, who is representing the insured?
When you reach the insurance adjuster, ask if he is authorized and licensed to represent you (the insured). In other words, verify whether the adjuster is legally permitted to act on your behalf.
There are only three people who can represent the assured and negotiate a fair agreement in their best interests:
- Firstly, the insured person (with notarial power)
- Secondly, a Public Insurance Adjuster with license
- Finally, a lawyer
Beware of contractors
Under Texas law (TIC 4102.163), a contractor may NOT act as a public adjuster or negotiate claims related to properties on which he is performing work.
Therefore , be careful when signing contracts that include:
- For example, “Notarial power”
- Additionally, “Contingency fees”
Furthermore an experienced contractor should be able to deliver a preliminary or detailed estimate without depending on the insurer’s offer . In other words, the estimate should be based on the actual scope of damage rather than the insurance company’s proposed settlement.
Who is a Public Insurance Adjuster?
Eric Ramirez is a Public Insurance Adjuster licensed in Texas and Puerto Rico , specialized in representing policyholders to negotiate fair agreements with insurance companies.
Additionally, the insured can be proactive and request a: FREE ย inspection ย and estimate , without the need to sign a contract immediately.
However, in many cases, the insurance company can offer much less than what it actually corresponds to .
Therefore, to maximize your compensation without the need for costly litigation , the best decision is to hire a Public Adjuster.
Furthermore, a Public Adjuster can accompany you throughout the Appraisal Process established in your country. In addition, they can help ensure that the claim is properly documented and evaluated.
Improper practices by insurers
A Public Adjuster must monitor possible violations, such as:
- Incorrect representation of the politics or of the facts
- Lack of good faith in negotiating a fair agreement
- Do not adequately explain decisions based on politics or law
- Unjustified delays in accepting or refusing coverage
- Refuse to pay without a reasonable investigation
- Delays or denials in paying the claim
- Require unnecessary documents (such as tax returns, with exceptions)
Furthermore, these practices can negatively affect the outcome of a claim and delay the recovery process. Therefore, a Public Adjuster helps identify and address such issues while protecting the insured’s interests.
Insurance rights in Texas
Insurance companies must comply with established deadlines for:
- Receipt of the complaint
- Acceptance or rejection
- Payment of the complaint
- Justification for delays
In addition, these requirements help protect policyholders throughout the claims process. Therefore, if an insurance company does not comply with these terms, the assured may have the right to sue.
Investigation and conflicts of interest
Eric Ramirez investigates each involved adjuster and expert to identify possibilities:
- Conflicts of interest
- Lack of registration in Texas
- Illegal operations or misconduct
Furthermore, this information may become important in a legal process involving the insurance company. For example, it may be relevant when the insurer:
- Denies the claim
- Delays the claim process
- Offers a much lower quantity
Therefore, identifying these issues early can help support the insured’s position and protect their rights.
Public Adjuster Fees
The standard fee is approximately:
10% of the total amount recovered (including prior payments)
No initial payments Only paid at the moment of signing
At the same time, there are usually no upfront payments required. Consequently, the Public Adjuster’s compensation depends on the outcome of the claim.
What happens if the insurer doesn’t want to pay more?
It is not always necessary to hire a lawyer immediately.
Eric Ramirez has participated in more than 500 appraisal processes , many involving judges as referees (umpires).
The assessment process is a powerful tool for:
- Determine the real value of the damage
- Avoid long and costly litigation
In particular, it helps resolve disputes regarding the amount of loss. As a result, both parties may reach a fair resolution without lengthy court proceedings.
Importance of experience
Many professionals do not manage the assessment process correctly, which can cause:
- Unfair decisions
- Cancelled evaluations
- Loss of insured rights
Eric Ramirez has seen multiple cases where results were affected due to lack of experience.
Its objectives are: Avoid unnecessary litigation Resolve the claim efficiently Protect the rights of the insured
