Why should I use Alan Venus instead of someone else? " For the past 30 years we have been involved in the insurance industry. I started my career as a staff adjuster, then went on to own an independent adjusting business, and now I am a fully licensed public adjuster, representing property owners. " The states that we are licensed in require the parties I work with sign a contract with Alan K. Venus. This will authorize me to represent your interests to the insurance company. Insurance companies will require a copy of the contract before they will start the claim process through me. " The states that I am licensed in allow a charge of 10% on the settlement value of the claim. However that rate can change due to the size or complexity of the claim. The charge will not exceed 10% and rates will be quoted on inspection. " Why do I REALLY need a Public Adjuster? " The insurance industry is a dynamic industry - it constantly changes. A variety of factors will influence how a claim will be handled. The insurance company adopts a defensive position and you will need to prove what your claim is worth. Why do I need a Public Adjuster? " When filing a claim, everyone with an insurance policy is under obligation to fully present their case to the insurance company.

I am in this line of work because I enjoy working and helping others that are going through a difficult time. I find this work to be both challenging and rewarding. Beyond this, I have an unwavering commitment to continually improve my work product to the benefit of my clients.
But the greatest asset to my clients is my experience. I always have a good sense of what an insurance company will try to do before they do it. My professional background and the number of years I have spent in the industry allow me to represent your claim in the most informed and strategic way possible. "
The states that I am licensed in also require this contract to be pre-approved by their insurance department before I can begin to represent you and your claim.

Some factors that influence a claim are the jurisdiction the loss occurs in. Are there adequate consumer protection laws? Is it a large claim or small claim? When does the loss happen? During the busy season or the slow season? Who is the company adjuster? Is it a staff adjuster who usually is far too busy or an independent adjuster who wants to impress the company they are working for? Who supervises the claim - an experienced person or an inexperienced person?
All of the above can have a dramatic effect on the outcome of the claim. But a Public Adjuster will document the claim and will be relentless in the resolution of the claim in your favor – as that is what you are paying them to do! "
