Your advocate, not theirs

Why call us 1st, before you call your insurance company.

Insurance companies are for-profit businesses. Their adjusters are trained to protect the carrier's bottom line, not your roof, your floors, or your family. A licensed public adjuster works only for the policyholder, documenting every detail and negotiating for the full amount your policy promises.

  • We read your policy the way a court would, so nothing is left out
  • We find hidden damage carriers often overlook or omit
  • No upfront cost. You only pay if we get you more.

Who is on your side?

Insurance company adjuster

Goal: protect the carrier's bottom line

First offers often cover only the visible damage.

Your own public adjuster

Goal: get you every dollar you're owed

A fully documented claim closes the gap.

Legacy clients regularly recover 2–5× the carrier's first offer.

What we handle

Every kind of property loss, documented properly.

How it works

Four steps from damage to settlement.

A clear roadmap from your first call to your final settlement, every step documented and fought for on your behalf.

Step 01

Free claim review

Tell us what happened. We review your policy and damage at no cost.

Step 02

Full documentation

Site inspection, photos, moisture readings and a line-item scope of loss.

Step 03

Submit claim and negotiate

We file and submit your claim and handle everything with the carrier.

Step 04

You get paid

Settlement issued on a fully documented claim. No recovery, no fee.

Why Legacy

Your policy is complicated. Your advocate shouldn't be.

Carrier adjusters are paid by the insurance company. We are licensed public adjusters paid only when you recover, which means our estimate, our documentation and our negotiation all point in one direction: yours.

  • Line-item scopes built on the same estimating software carriers use
  • Contents inventory and additional living expense claims included
  • Direct handling of every carrier call, form and re-inspection
  • Transparent contingency fee, nothing owed unless you're paid

“Our carrier offered $28,000 after a pipe burst through two floors. Legacy re-documented everything and we settled at $91,400.”

D. Marsh

Homeowner, water loss claim

Case study

$25,000 offer. $125,000 settlement.

SR

S. Rodriguez

Homeowner, storm & water loss

After a severe summer storm, Ms. Rodriguez noticed water stains spreading across her ceiling and walls. The carrier's adjuster inspected the visible damage, wrote a quick estimate, and offered $25,000 to repair the roof and repaint the interior.

  • Roof decking and underlayment were saturated but not replaced in the carrier scope
  • Interior insulation, drywall, and flooring needed removal due to hidden moisture
  • Local code required full roof replacement and upgraded ventilation
  • Contents and additional living expenses were omitted from the first offer
  • Final result

    Carrier first offer

    $25,000

    Legacy settlement

    $125,000

    5× the original offer

    A fully documented scope of loss, including code upgrades, contents, and temporary relocation, closed the gap and put the settlement where it belonged.

    “I almost accepted the $25,000 check. Legacy found damage the first adjuster never looked at, and the final number covered every repair plus our hotel stay.”

    Client reviews

    They called Legacy first. We handled the rest.

    What a public adjuster does for a Pennsylvania property owner

    A public adjuster is a state licensed insurance professional who represents you, the policyholder, instead of the insurance company. The adjuster your carrier sends works for the carrier. They inspect the damage once, write a scope of loss in carrier pricing software, apply depreciation, and issue a number. Anything they miss, undervalue, or exclude comes out of your pocket. Our job is to inspect the property independently, document the loss in detail, read your policy line by line, and negotiate the settlement to what it actually costs to repair or rebuild in your county.

    Legacy Public Adjusters is licensed in Pennsylvania under license #726839 and based in Chester Springs. We handle residential and commercial losses across Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Berks, Lancaster, and Lehigh counties, including fire and smoke, water and pipe breaks, storm and wind, hail, mold, and theft or vandalism. We work on a contingency fee, so the claim review costs nothing and there is no fee unless we recover money for you.

    Why the first offer is usually low

    Underpayments are rarely dramatic. They come from small omissions that add up: missing code required upgrades, no allowance for matching undamaged materials, drywall and insulation replaced only where the moisture meter was pointed, contents valued at garage sale prices, debris removal left out, and loss of use or business interruption never opened. A documented, line item estimate is the only reliable way to show a carrier what was left out, and it is the difference between an offer and a settlement.

    Call us before you call your insurance company

    The first 48 hours shape the entire claim. Photograph everything, stop further damage, keep every receipt, and do not throw out damaged property until it has been documented. Recorded statements and casual descriptions of what happened can narrow coverage before you understand what the policy provides. If damage has already been reported, that is fine. Most claims can be supplemented or reopened, even after a check has been issued, so a low offer is not the end of the conversation.
