Nebraska Information
A public adjuster is a licensed insurance claims professional who represents the insured, not the insurance company. For Nebraska commercial property owners, a public adjuster can help document losses, interpret commercial policy language, evaluate business-interruption damages, and negotiate a settlement that reflects the full scope of damage caused by wind, hail, tornadoes, fire, or water events.
