Sarasohn & Company –  Public Adjusters

561-368-5000

For four generations, the name Sarasohn has been synonymous with the highest levels of integrity and expertise in the field of insurance adjusting.

Emmanuel Sarasohn founded his public adjusting business in 1924 in Newark, NJ.  His sons, Ira and Roy, grew up in the family business and came on board full time after college and the army.

In 1951, Ira Sarasohn was one of the founding members of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. Ira and Roy would both later serve as president of that esteemed organization.

Ira J. Sarasohn took over the helm of Sarasohn & Company  after his father’s passing. In 1970, Stephen Sarasohn joined the firm in NJ, but he settled in Florida a few years later. In 1985, both Ira and Stephen helped found the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. After 72 years of public adjusting, Ira J. Sarasohn passed away in 2006 with many active files on his desk. In 2018, Bernard Sarasohn joined the firm as a licensed public adjuster.

Stephen Sarasohn is now CEO of Sarasohn & Company and he maintains the same high standards as his predecessors.  Sarasohn & Company, Inc. is based in Boca Raton, FL but is licensed to handle claims in other states as well.

 

Building Claims

In order to properly adjust any claim for damage to a structure, it is important to prepare a detailed repair estimate.  Sarasohn & Company will do that on your behalf.  Whenever necessary, we will employ the services of architects, engineers, contractors and other independent experts at no additional cost to you.

Full consideration is given to the provisions of your policy, as well as applicable statutes and case law, so as to maximize the recovery. This includes consideration of depreciation, coinsurance, code upgrades, deductibles and any other factors important to a successful adjustment.  Sarasohn & Company is also equipped to provide project management for the reconstruction process.  Project management is a field used in large construction projects to coordinate the various aspects of the repairs. This service is provided at no additional cost.

 

Personal Property Losses

All insurance policies require the submission of a complete inventory of both the damaged and undamaged personal property.  This includes machinery, trade fixtures, appliances, merchandise inventory, household furnishings, clothing and all other movable property insured under the policy.  This coverage also covers improvements and betterments on tenants’ policies, which can be treated several ways for claims purposes.

Sarasohn & Company has on its staff, experienced personnel who are capable of filling these requirements.   In addition to listing the property involved, our experts will calculate the replacement cost and actual cash value of each item as well as the repair cost when appropriate.  We will determine salvage value, if any, and help arrange for protection of the property from further damage, as required by the policy.  Our services can be helpful in documenting your tax loss, if any.

 

Loss of Income Claims

One of the most complex aspects of your claim involves calculating the loss of income you will suffer as a direct result of damage to real or personal property.  Sarasohn’s long term experience has helped to develop a team of forensic accountants who have proven to be outstanding in their ability to adjust claims in a way most favorable to the policyholder.  The services of CPA’s and tax attorneys are engaged when necessary, at no additional cost to you.

One of the questions that usually arise in a loss of income claim involves the continuation of payroll during the period of restoration.  It is extremely important that a method be established as soon as possible after the loss, to resolve this aspect of the claim.  Sarasohn & Company, with its years of experience will assist you with these important decisions.  Extra expense coverage can be used creatively to make up for insufficient property coverage, should that scenario exist.

Public Adjusters

Most states license all insurance adjusters, whether they work for an insurance company or for the public. Adjusters working for the insurance companies are obligated to treat all claimants fairly and impartially. However, they are paid by the insurance companies for their efforts. The state recognizes that the insured is entitled to equal representation and may retain the services of an expert adjuster to assist in the claim process

Not all public adjusters are the same. One recent article stated that losses caused by your negligence can be excluded. That’s just not so! We are a fourth generation family owned business, founded in 1924, and have more experience than any other public adjusting firm in Florida. We are founding members of both the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters and the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. Large commercial losses are our specialty. We’ve adjusted a great many claims in excess of a million dollars and even many in the tens of millions of dollars. In addition to numerous state licenses, Stephen Sarasohn, our CEO, has held the nationally recognized designation of Senior Professional Public Adjuster since it was created in 1987. He has been certified by the Florida Department of Financial Services to teach continuing education courses to the other public adjusters.

Insurance policies are not all the same. Coverages, exclusions and post loss requirements differ from policy to policy. Our first step is to do a thorough review of your insurance policy. This is necessary to ensure that we take advantage of all the benefits it affords and to be certain we comply with all its requirements. We then prepare the claim using licensed general contractors, engineers and other experts as needed. We attend all meetings with the insurance company’s representatives on the insured’s behalf. Stephen Sarasohn brings over 50 years public adjusting experience to the negotiating table when it’s time to settle the claim. By law, accepting the final settlement is up to the insured. We can’t finalize anything on our own.

Whether the damage is caused by fire, flood, wind, plumbing leak or any other covered peril, rest assured that Sarasohn & Company will bring to bear all its knowledge and experience to make sure the insured achieves the best possible result with their claim. We can be reached 24/7 at 561-368-5000.

SHOULD I USE A PUBLIC ADJUSTER? While it would be wonderful if no one ever suffered damage to their property, it would be unrealistic to expect such good fortune.

SHOULD I USE A PUBLIC ADJUSTER?

by Steven Sarasohon of Sarasohn & Company Public Adjusters

 

Most states license all insurance adjusters, whether they work for an insurance company or for the public. Adjusters working for the insurance companies are obligated to treat all claimants fairly and impartially. However, they are paid by the insurance companies for their efforts. The state recognizes that you, the policyholder, are entitled to representation and you may retain the services of a licensed public adjuster to assist in the claim process. Sarasohn & Company, founded in 1924, is a fourth-generation public adjusting company based in Boca Raton, FL.  As such, we can provide unparalleled expertise to get you the best possible settlement.

Our president, Stephen Sarasohn SPPA, is the third generation in his family’s business. His son, Bernard, joined the firm several years ago and is following in his footsteps. Stephen has been a public adjuster for 51 years and has held the professional designation Senior Professional Public Adjuster since it was first created in 1987. Stephen’s father, Ira Sarasohn SPPA, was one of the founding members of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. Both Stephen and Ira were founding members of the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters.

Property owners can certainly try to prepare and adjust their insurance claims themselves. However, as with most things in life, a great deal of benefit can be realized by hiring an expert to assist with a difficult and complex task. No public adjuster in Florida has as much experience as Stephen Sarasohn. Stephen has been certified as an instructor by the Florida Department of Financial Services and has taught insurance courses to the other public adjusters for their continuing education requirements. Sarasohn & Company has adjusted claims ranging from burglaries to plumbing leaks, to fires, to hurricanes, to airplanes crashing into buildings. The valuable experience we’ve gained, in our 98 years, benefits every client. We’ve adjusted a great many claims in excess of a million dollars, some of them in the tens of millions.

Not every professional is the same. When you need the assistance of an expert, you should hire the best expert. Contrary to another article on this site, damage caused by your negligence is not excluded.

While it would be wonderful if no one ever suffered damage to their property, it would be unrealistic to expect such good fortune. That’s why we all buy insurance. If you make a claim, the insurance company will have experts to represent their interests and you’d be well advised to do the same. For a free consultation regarding your damage or for a free review of your policy coverages, please contact us at any time at 561-368-5000
