About Us

Public Insurance Adjusters

We are a Licensed & Bonded Public Claims Adjusting Firm head-quartered and founded in Tampa, FL. We are licensed to represent clients in Florida, Georgia & Virginia. Our goal is to make sure our clients receive ALL the money they deserve from their insurance carrier.

We also are active in our community. Reliable Claims Adjusting is a proud supporter and sponsor of the PACE Center for Girls Hillsborough.

Our firm will communicate on the behalf of the insured, with the insurance company. We are advocates for the policyholders’ interests during the insurance claim process. We prepare an itemized estimate of damages for residential and commercial properties. We review the entire insurance policy for coverage to ensure a proper and fair award. Our firm will explain what a policyholder’s duties are after a loss. Our staff of trained personnel looks after our clients’ best interests like they were our own.

Here at Reliable Claims Adjusting, we take pride in the fact that our company’s services have helped hundreds of clients receive fair and proper claim awards. Our priority is helping our neighbors get their properties, once affected by damage, back to a pre-loss condition. Our representatives are available to talk about any situation one may encounter. All consultations and inspections are no charge, so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want to have our firm consider representing you in a property claim.

Insurance companies have trained adjusters looking after their best interests; you deserve to have the same. If you have sustained any damage to your home, or want a qualified expert to examine your property for damage, call our office to schedule a free inspection and consultation. Do not pay for repairs yourself when your insurance carrier might owe you for the damage.
