New Laws Affecting New York Property Claims Adjusters


New York passed an act—Act 5775—on January 1, 2014 that affects public adjusters, including public property claims adjuster professionals. The act prohibits any public adjuster from receiving a referral fee for his or her services. Furthermore, the act disallows public property claims adjuster professionals from having any kind of ownership interest in any companies, specifically restoration companies or repair companies, that are working on the claim at hand. The only allowed exception to this rule is when any compensation or relationship between the adjuster and the organization is fully disclosed and approved of by all parties. 


Acts like this one are good steps toward ensuring that all public claims are handled fairly and justly, but you won’t need the protection of a formal act when you choose to entrust your business’ needs to the most trustworthy, reputable company around: HC Adjusters.
