Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Kansas Public Adjusting

The role of public adjusters has become more significant over the last few years, especially as insurance claims grow more complicated. A landmark study by the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) found that policyholders who used public adjusters received settlements that were up to 800% higher than those who handled claims themselves.

Public adjusters provide comprehensive services throughout the claim process. They conduct thorough damage assessments, and prepare and file the necessary documentation, and manage all communication with insurance companies. This professional support significantly reduces the stress and time that comes with filing claims which allows policyholders to concentrate on rehabilitating.

Operating primarily on a basis of contingency fees that typically range between 10 and 20 percent of the settlement, public adjusters are rewarded for securing the most compensation for their clients. The fee structure varies according to the complexity of the claim, state regulations, and the resources required.

In the state of Kansas, insurance companies are governed by specific regulations when it comes to investigating insurance claims. The Kansas Insurance Department oversees the industry and ensures that insurers adhere to the stipulated timeframe for claim investigation and settlement.

According to Kansas state law, an insurance company has a maximum of 30 days to investigate an insurance claim from the date of receipt. This timeframe is specified in the Kansas Administrative Regulations Section K.A.R. 40-1-34, which outlines the requirements for the prompt investigation and processing of insurance claims.

Kansas has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Model Regulation (1981), subject to certain limited exceptions. 

This means that an insurer presented with a property and casualty claim must (1) acknowledge the claim within 10 days, (2) advise a first party claimant of the acceptance or denial of a claim within 15 days after receipt of proof-of-loss, and (3) complete its investigation within 30 days or provide updated notifications regarding the status of the claim every 45 days if it remains under investigation.

It is essential for policyholders in Kansas to be aware of their rights and the expected timeframe for claim investigation, ensuring they receive fair and timely compensation for their losses. By understanding the regulations governing insurance claims in Kansas, policyholders can navigate the claims process with confidence, knowing their rights are protected.

If your insurance company is stalling in Kansas, it can be a frustrating and stressful experience, especially when you’re trying to recover from a devastating loss or damage to your property.

Insurance companies may stall or delay the claims process for various reasons, including overwhelmed adjusters, complex policies, or intentional tactics to avoid paying out claims. Whatever the reason, it’s essential to know your rights as a policyholder and take proactive steps to ensure you receive a fair settlement.

In Kansas, policyholders have the right to a prompt and fair claims process, as outlined in the Kansas Insurance Department’s guidelines. If you suspect your insurance company is stalling, start by documenting all communication, including dates, times, and details of conversations.

It’s also crucial to review your policy and understand your coverage and obligations. Furthermore, consider hiring a licensed public adjuster who specializes in resolving commercial/business claim disputes in Kansas.

A public adjuster can help accelerate the claims process, ensuring that your insurance company meets its obligations and provides a fair settlement. They can also assist with damage assessment, policy interpretation, and negotiation, alleviating some of the burden and stress associated with dealing with an uncooperative insurance company.

Navigating the insurance claims process requires careful timing and professional expertise. Understanding when to engage a Kansas public adjuster can significantly impact claim outcomes and settlement amounts.

According to the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA), policyholders can benefit from hiring a public adjuster at any point during an active claim, though earlier engagement typically yields better results.

Key timing considerations include:

Statute of Limitations:

  • Each state maintains different deadlines for filing insurance claims

Documentation Requirements:

  • Public adjusters help organize and prepare comprehensive claim documentation
  • They can recover or reconstruct missing documentation

The choice to engage a state-licensed public claims adjuster, even if an insurance company has assigned its own adjuster greatly affect the outcome of an insurance claim.

Although insurance company adjusters work for the insurance company’s interests … public insurance claims adjusters serve as dedicated advocates for policyholders. The National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA) highlights that these state-licensed & regulated professionals work independently, ensuring fair claim settlements and comprehensive policy interpretation.

Public adjusters streamline the claims process by managing documents and performing comprehensive assessment of the damage, and handling all communication with insurance companies. This professional intervention typically accelerates claim resolution and decreases homeowners administrative burdens.

The benefit of public adjusters also goes beyond financial benefits. These professionals offer expert guidance during the claim process, explaining complicated policy terms and making sure that every damage is properly documented and assessed.

They make precise damage estimates, gather necessary evidence, and deal directly with insurance carriers to maximize settlement outcomes.

Public adjusters’ expertise in negotiation and interpretation of policies usually results in more comprehensive settlements that cover both obvious and concealed damages.

Disclaimer: *Some Services Not Available In All Areas. Public Adjusting Services in Kansas are available for commercial properties only.

While policyholders have the right to file insurance claims on their own, research from industry experts suggests this strategy may not provide the best results.

The main challenges with self-filing include:

Complex documentation requirements and policy interpretation

Time-intensive communication with insurance representatives

Risk of overlooking covered damages or benefits

Potential undervaluation of claims by insurance companies

Limited-to-zero negotiation experience with insurers

licensed public adjusters have substantial advantages during the claims process:

      1. Professional Documentation and Assessment – Public adjusters thoroughly document damages, and create comprehensive claim files, and manage all necessary paperwork, ensuring no detail is left unnoticed.

      2. Time and Stress Management – These professionals manage all communication with insurance companies and homeowners can concentrate on recovery while speeding the process of submitting claims.

      3. Expert Negotiation – With a vast understanding of regulations and rules governing insurance policies, public adjusters negotiate directly with insurance companies to negotiate fair settlements.

      4. Cost-Effective Service – Public adjusters typically work on a contingency fee basis, usually ranging from 10-20% of the final settlement amount, ensuring alignment with the policyholder’s interests.

The National Association of State Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) recognizes public adjusters as licensed professionals who represent the interests of policyholders during the process of settling claims. Their expertise can be particularly valuable in complicated claims or when significant damages are involved.

Statistics from the industry consistently demonstrate that professional representation by state-licensed public claims adjusters leads to more favorable outcomes for policy holders, with quicker processing time, and more comprehensive settlement packages.

Disclaimer: *Some Services Not Available In All Areas. Public Adjusting Services in Kansas are available for commercial properties only.

Although contractors frequently offer negotiations with insurers this method can come with significant limitations and potential risks. According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), contractors are not legally authorized and lack know-how to act as official representatives for insurance claim negotiations.

This limitation could significantly impact the result of a claim and potentially limit your rights as a insurance company.

The state insurance departments oversee licensed public adjusters, who receive highly specialized training, have to pass Federal background checks, & require specialized licensing by the state to operate. They also have the legal authority to represent the policyholder in order to protect and protect their right … legal authority that contractors do not possess … thus they are the legal alternative to contractor representation.

Public Adjusters are experts in the interpretation of insurance policies, documenting damages, and negotiating with insurance companies to guarantee equitable settlements.

Public adjusters provide several distinct advantages, including:

  • Expert claim documents and filing
  • Professional negotiation with insurance carriers
  • Comprehensive damage assessment
  • Accelerated claim processing
  • Stress reduction by a complete claim management

The National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA) insists on the fact that public insurance adjusters must hold professional licenses and adhere to strict ethical standards. This provides an additional layer of consumer protection that is not offered by contractors.

For complex claims, public adjusters’ expertise in interpreting policies, document specifications, and negotiation strategies often proves invaluable, potentially preventing costly mistakes and claims denials that might occur with contractor-led negotiations.

Disclaimer: *Some Services Not Available In All Areas. Public Adjusting Services in Kansas are available for commercial properties only.

When insurance settlements fail to pay for property damage, policyholders have a range of legal options to seek further compensation following the initial settlement of claim.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), NAIC recommends that policyholders carefully evaluate the terms of their settlement and related documentation before accepting the final settlement.

The timing and the circumstances for pursuing additional compensation are critical aspects, as the majority of insurance policies include specific timeframes for dispute resolution as well as appeals, usually ranging from one to two years after settlement date.

Licensed public insurance adjusters are crucial in re-evaluating settled claims and finding overlooked damages. Public adjusters perform thorough property assessments, as well as document any additional damages, and negotiate with insurance carriers in the interest of policyholders.

The most important steps to pursue additional compensation are:

  1.  Document newly discovered damages 
  2. Review the policy terms and settlement agreements
  3. Gather new evidence and estimations
  4.  Retain professional representation from a state-licensed public insurance claims adjusters

The National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA) emphasizes that public adjusters are often able to spot overlooked damages and policy provisions that support additional compensation. Their expertise in the interpretation of policies and the valuation of claims proves particularly valuable when challenging settled claims.

Policyholders should act promptly after discovering inadequate settlement amounts, as delay can compromise their ability to obtain additional compensation. When utilizing a public adjuster’s services, the claim review and negotiation process typically progresses more efficiently than policyholder-directed efforts.

Disclaimer: *Some Services Not Available In All Areas. Public Adjusting Services in Kansas are available for commercial properties only.

No. Insurance companies cannot legally cancel policies solely because policyholders hire public adjusters to represent their interests during the claims process, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Policy cancellations are strictly governed by contractual terms and state regulations, typically limited to specific circumstances such as non-payment of premiums or material misrepresentation.

The National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA) emphasizes that hiring a licensed public insurance claims adjusters is a protected right of policyholders. These professionals serve as advocates during insurance claims, handling documentation, negotiations, and communications with insurance carriers to expedite settlements.

The Insurance Information Institute (III) confirms that policyholders maintain the right to professional representation during claims processes, and insurers must honor this right while adhering to fair claims handling practices.

For commercial roof replacements, there is a federal tax deduction available under Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code. This deduction allows businesses to deduct up to $1,220,000 (2024) from their taxes for capital improvements to their commercial roofing system. The deduction must be taken in the year the roof replacement occurs.

Section 179 of the IRS Tax Code offers significant tax deductions for investments in commercial property improvements, including roofing, incentivizing businesses to undertake these projects before annual depreciation rates are reduced.

  • Qualifying improvements include non-residential property upgrades like roofing, HVAC, and fire protection systems.
  • This provision encourages business investment by providing immediate tax benefits.
  • Limitations exist, such as a $1,600,000 cap on deductions and cumulative deduction limits based on total taxable income.
  • Roofing projects, including repairs and replacements, qualify for Section 179 deductions with specific examples highlighting potential savings.

Kansas ( KAN-zəss) is a landlocked state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It borders Nebraska to the north; Missouri to the east; Oklahoma to the south; and Colorado to the west. Kansas is named after the Kansas River, in turn named after the Kansa people. Its capital is Topeka, and its most populous city is Wichita; however, the largest urban area is the bi-state Kansas City metropolitan area split between Kansas and Missouri.

For thousands of years, what is now Kansas was home to numerous and diverse Indigenous tribes. The first settlement of non-indigenous people in Kansas occurred in 1827 at Fort Leavenworth. The pace of settlement accelerated in the 1850s, in the midst of political wars over the slavery debate. When it was officially opened to settlement by the U.S. government in 1854 with the Kansas–Nebraska Act, conflict between abolitionist Free-Staters from New England and pro-slavery settlers from neighboring Missouri broke out over the question of whether Kansas would become a free state or a slave state, in a period known as Bleeding Kansas. On January 29, 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free state, hence the unofficial nickname “The Free State”. Passage of the Homestead Acts in 1862 brought a further influx of settlers, and the booming cattle trade of the 1870s attracted some of the Wild West’s most iconic figures to western Kansas.

As of 2015, Kansas was among the most productive agricultural states, producing high yields of wheat, corn, sorghum, and soybeans. In addition to its traditional strength in agriculture, Kansas possesses an extensive aerospace industry. Kansas, which has an area of 82,278 square miles (213,100 square kilometers) is the 15th-largest state by area, the 36th most-populous of the 50 states, with a population of 2,940,865 according to the 2020 census, and the 10th least densely populated. Residents of Kansas are called Kansans. Mount Sunflower is Kansas’s highest point at 4,039 feet (1,231 meters).

Kansas is generally considered to be the geographic center of the Contiguous United States, with Lebanon being approximately the center.
