WHAT IS A PUBLIC ADJUSTER?
Public Adjusters are experts on property loss adjustment who are retained by policyholders to assist in preparing, filing and adjusting insurance claims. Employed exclusively by a policyholder who has sustained an insured loss, these professionals manage every detail of the claim, working closely with the insured to provide the most equitable and prompt settlement possible. A public adjuster inspects the loss site immediately, analyzes the damages, assembles claim support data, reviews the insured’s coverage, determines current replacement costs and exclusively serves the client, not the insurance company. Definition per the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA).

“I highly recommend Skipton & Associates, Inc. to anyone needing a public adjuster for an insurance claim. They are very professional & have a keen understanding of the insurance industry. They can make quite a difference in your claim results by their experience in this field. I don’t know what I would have done in our business’s fire loss claim without Dave Skipton’s help.”
“The Skipton team was an excellent source of information, guidance and most importantly, assistance with the insurance company. They helped my family get back on our feet after a house fire and even now, I couldn’t imagine doing it alone. ”
“I can say without doubt that if I experience another catastrophic property loss, the first call will be to 911 and the second call will be to Dave Skipton at Skipton & Associates. I was really lucky that my attorneys were able to introduce me to Dave, as his vast knowledge on adjusting insurance claims and insurance law allowed me to maintain some peace of mind, while trying to re-build my business post-loss.”
“I worked with Dave in both Arizona and California on several claims. I found David to be fully up to date on the current legislation regarding fire losses, tenant responsibility, and insurance policies and practices. In every instance his work resulted in significantly more reimbursement from the insurance carrier, which allowed us to fully restore the damaged property, including lost income (rent) during the period of the loss and repairs. ”
