Running a business or commercial property portfolio is complex enough without having to become an insurance claim expert overnight. When disaster strikes your commercial property, every day of disruption impacts your bottom line. In this guide, you'll learn why Minnesota business and commercial property owners trust Parker Public Adjusting to manage their complex property claims.

The Business Impact of Property Claims

Every commercial property owner faces that critical moment: A major loss hits, and suddenly you're juggling business operations with complex insurance claims. Between maintaining tenant relationships, coordinating repairs, and dealing with adjusters, your core business suffers. In our experience, many owners don't realize how policy provisions might affect their recovery until it's too late.

Think about your property:

• Do you know your policy deadlines for reporting and completing repairs?

• Are you aware of potential coverage gaps between property and business interruption policies?

• Have you reviewed your policy's code upgrade coverage?

• Do you understand how coinsurance clauses might affect your claim?

• Is your business interruption coverage adequately documented?

• Have you considered the impact on your tenants' operations?

Hidden Policy Challenges

We've seen numerous cases where commercial property owners encountered unexpected challenges:

• Depreciation on critical building components

• Exclusions for certain types of water damage

• Limited coverage for tenant improvements

• Complex requirements for business income claims
