Has anyone had luck hiring a public insurance adjuster? I may need one for property damage from my roofing contractor who caused water ingress from a storm at my movie theater. I don't think it'll be fun working with two insurance providers (my contractor's and my own). So I thought hiring an adjuster is easy for me but they take a cut of the settlement.
