What type of information should public adjusters maintain about their clients?

Public adjusters are required to maintain comprehensive records of all communication and documents related to the claims process because this information is crucial for effectively managing claims on behalf of their clients. Keeping detailed records allows public adjusters to track the progress of claims, provide clear evidence of communication and agreements, and ensure that all relevant details are properly documented in case of disputes or further clarifications needed during the claims process.

Documenting communication includes notes on conversations with clients, insurance companies, and any other parties involved in the claim. Additionally, maintaining documents such as claim forms, estimates, photographs, and correspondence can be vital for substantiating the claims and for transparency in the adjustment process.

While client satisfaction surveys, annual reports on insurance trends, and clients' financial statements may provide useful insights or data, they do not hold the same level of importance in the day-to-day operations and responsibilities of a public adjuster concerning claims management. The primary focus must always be on the efficient handling of a client's claim through accurate documentation and communication retention.
