Step 3: Inspection
After the claim is filed, the insurance carrier will assign a field adjuster to inspect the property. Our team will attend the inspection to represent your interests, review the reported damages, and ensure nothing is overlooked during the evaluation process.

Step 4: Coverage Determination
Once the inspection is complete and all supporting documentation has been submitted, the insurance carrier will evaluate the claim and issue a coverage determination based on the policy provisions.

Step 5: Negotiation & Settlement
In many claims, insurance companies issue an initial payment that may not reflect the full scope of damage. That’s where Odyssey Public Adjusters steps in—conducting a detailed independent inspection, preparing a comprehensive estimate, and comparing it to the carrier’s evaluation. When discrepancies are found, we negotiate strategically to help secure the full compensation needed to restore your property to its pre-loss condition.

Step 6: Closing the Claim
Once a settlement amount has been agreed upon, we finalize the claim and work with your insurance company to close it, ensuring you receive the funds needed to restore your property.
Common Red Flags for Policyholders
Recognizing warning signs can prevent delays, underpayments, or denied claims:
-
Initial settlement offers may not cover all damages—especially for hail, theft, or vandalism claims.
-
Never sign forms or agreements before understanding the full claim and coverage.
-
If the insurer misrepresents coverage, consult a public adjuster before accepting their explanation.
-
Insurance companies may overlook hidden damages such as water, structural issues, or vandalism repair needs.
