Adjusters International Works for You

Today, we are the industry leader with unprecedented experience and expertise. With more than 35 offices across the United States and in Canada, we can place a team of professionals anywhere at any time to manage property damage, business interruption, and extra expense property insurance claims immediately following a disaster.

Since its creation, and that of the original firms that form it, Adjusters International has helped policyholders recover from major disasters, including:

  • Hurricanes Andrew, Katrina, Sandy, and Maria.
  • The Northridge Earthquake.
  • The Oklahoma City Bombing.
  • California and Colorado wildfires.
  • The 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
  • The 9/11 terrorist attacks.
  • War reparations claims following the Persian Gulf War.

Many of our Adjusters International offices are family-owned and operated, with some established before World War I. Over decades, our presence and action – locally and internationally – have continued to improve the lives, businesses, and communities we serve.

Adjusters International has continued to grow as the needs of policyholders have evolved. In 1996, we recognized that government and non-profit organizations had similar advocacy needs as businesses and homeowners and began to support these organizations in their efforts to obtain assistance under FEMA assistance programs.
