Who UCS is

What a public adjuster does

A public adjuster works for the policyholder, not the insurance company. UCS inspects and documents the damage, prepares the claim, and negotiates with the insurer. Its adjusters know contractor repair costs, which helps them estimate damage accurately.

Fees

UCS works on a contingency fee. In its own words:

• “We get paid when you get paid. No risks. All reward.”
• “We make sure you get the settlement you deserve for your damages and we don’t get paid until you do.”
• “More money, less stress, no risk.”
