Policyholder representation

Public adjuster software that tracks the scope, the supplement and the fee on every claim

A public adjuster is a licensed representative who works for the policyholder rather than the insurer: documenting the loss, preparing the scope and estimate, and negotiating the claim for a fee that is usually a percentage of the settlement. Florida caps that fee at 20 percent, falling to 10 percent for claims from a declared state of emergency in the first year, and Texas caps it at 10 percent. NOAA has recorded 403 US billion dollar disasters since 1980. Neurobird tracks the file, the supplements and the fee.

The daily reality

What public adjusting firms actually deal with

The contract fee is a percentage and the caps differ by state and by whether the loss came from a declared emergency, so 2 files on the same street can carry different fees.
Supplements are the real work and they live in email, so nobody can say how much of a claim is still outstanding.
Deadlines are statutory, and a missed proof of loss date costs the client the claim and the firm the fee.

Why it stays broken

Public adjusting sits between estimating software, legal case management and a CRM, and fits none of them. So the file is an estimating export, an email folder and a calendar reminder held together by 1 person.

A firm carrying 140 open files with an average supplement position it cannot see is guessing at its own revenue.

A public adjuster must be licensed by DFS; ask for their license number, which you may compare to their government-issued photo ID (such as a driver license).

Who is this for?

Same claim, three different firms.

Solo adjuster

You are the firm

Every deadline is yours. You need a diary that does not depend on you remembering to set it.

Established firm

You run several adjusters

You need one view of outstanding claim value and fee position without calling each adjuster for a number.

Multi state practice

You follow the storms

Fee caps, licences and deadlines all change at the state line. You need those rules held by the system rather than by habit.

How does Neurobird Public Adjuster Claims work?

  1. Capture the contract and the cap

    Fee percentage, state, emergency status and the applicable cap are recorded at signing, so the fee is never calculated wrong at settlement.

  2. Run scope and supplements as one position

    Original scope, each supplement and each carrier response roll into a single outstanding figure per claim and per firm.

  3. Diary the deadlines that end claims

    Proof of loss, notice and appraisal windows are diaried by state and policy form, with reminders that reach more than 1 person.

Key terms

What is a public adjuster?
A public adjuster is a licensed representative who works for the policyholder rather than the insurer: inspecting and documenting the loss, preparing the scope and estimate, and negotiating the claim in exchange for a fee, normally a percentage of the settlement. It is a regulated occupation with state licensing, contract requirements and fee caps.
What are the fee caps?
They are set by state. Florida caps public adjuster compensation at 20 percent of the claim payment, dropping to 10 percent for claims arising from events that are the subject of a declared state of emergency during the first year. Texas caps it at 10 percent of the claim settlement.

Why do supplements matter so much?

Because the first settlement is rarely the final number. Concealed damage, code upgrades and revised scope come later as supplements, and firms that track only the original claim value have no idea what is genuinely outstanding across the book.

What deadlines actually bite?

Proof of loss requirements, notice periods and appraisal demand windows, all of which vary by state and policy form. Missing one is the failure mode that ends both the client's claim and the firm's fee.

Does this replace estimating software?

No. Scopes stay in whatever estimating platform you use. This holds the claim file: the contract and fee basis, the supplement position, the deadline diary and the firm level view of what is outstanding.

Why we are building this

Public adjusting is a regulated advocacy business that runs on documentation. The scope is done properly, the supplements are chased, and the file itself lives in an email folder.

That is why firms rarely know their real outstanding position, and why a missed proof of loss date is a recurring rather than a rare failure.

We would rather build this with adjusters who carry files. Tell us how your practice runs, and where we have got it wrong.
