You should not lose money and the ability to repair your property (at least as much as the adjuster sees) by hiring an attorney. Two, it simply is not right (at least to me). Why? First, you received that offer with no assistance from me (or any other attorney). I do not take a fee on the amount of damages that the adjuster was already willing to pay you without my involvement. I will also fight for any bad faith penalties that may be due to you which can include your attorney fees.

So, in our example, if I am able to establish that your damages are $50,000 and you are paid the $50,000, my fee would be calculated only on the $30,000 increase obtained on your claim. If you hire me, my fees will be calculated only on the amount I am able to obtain for you that is above the insurance adjuster's offer you had before you hired me. Two of your options at this point are (1) accept the $20,000 or (2) hire me to fight for the other $30,000 you believe you are due. The adjuster does not agree and sticks to the $20,000. You think that's too low and send the adjuster your contractor's estimate for $50,000. The adjuster comes back with an estimate of damages of $20,000. You have filed a claim and had your property inspected by the insurance company's adjuster. I only take a fee on the increased amount received from your insurance company resulting from my involvement in your claim. I cannot speak to how any other insurance claim lawyer charges, but I will describe how I charge for these property damage claims.
