Why should I hire a public adjuster instead of handling the claim myself?

Filing an insurance claim, especially for fire damage, can feel overwhelming. With 23 years of experience, Semper Fi Adjusters fights to get you more—often 50% to 750% more than the insurance company’s initial offer. Our one-of-a-kind process includes advanced 3D imaging, in-house estimating, and full-service claim management, giving you an edge no other public adjuster can offer. We work exclusively for you, handling all the paperwork, inspections, and negotiations to ensure you get the maximum payout you deserve.

What types of claims do you handle?

We handle a wide range of claims, including property damage due to fire, water, wind, and storms, as well as business interruption and other insurance-related losses. If you’re unsure, reach out, and we’ll evaluate your case.

How much does it cost to hire SEMPER FI?

Our fees are contingency-based, meaning we only get paid when you receive your settlement. This ensures our interests are aligned with yours.

How long does the claims process take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of your claim and the insurance company’s responsiveness. On average, claims can take a few weeks to several months. We work diligently to expedite the process and keep you informed at every step.

What makes SEMPER FI different from other public adjusters?

As a company founded by a Marine veteran, we uphold the “Always Faithful” motto in every claim we handle. Our commitment to integrity, loyalty, and achieving the best possible outcome for our clients sets us apart. We combine decades of expertise with a personalized approach to ensure your claim is handled with the utmost care.

Home

Alex and Alan helped me a great deal with my house caught fire…They immediately boarded up an secured the house, they took care of all the inspections, contractors and best of all they dealt with the insurance company. Since my house was a rental they were able to collect loss of rent for me. I didn’t need to worry nor stress about my house getting repaired.

- Lorie R., Indio, CA

After some windstorms tore off parts of my roof, my insurance company barely wanted to give me anything over the cost of my deductible. Stating that it just needed to be patched up. Visually, the roof was heavily damaged. Semper Fi helped me get my roof replaced and gave me peace of mind knowing my home and family were now protected.
