Property insurance resources: before a loss
Resources curated with ♡ by Parker Public Adjusting, for property insurance consumers.
Coverage within property claims are determined long before policyholders like you, hire companies like us. Coverage starts with your policy, which is a legal contract, with deadlines, limitations and exclusions, and more.
Unfortunately, many of our clients don't discover coverage gaps, or underinsurance, until after a claim is filed.
Thankfully, there are many resources from policyholder advocacy non-profits, government bodies, and other organizations that can help you to learn how to be an informed consumer. Your property coverage doesn't have to be a mystery.
