What is a Colorado Public Adjuster Bond?

Know the who, what, and how of this bond!

Each person who intends to become a Public Adjuster in the State of Colorado is required to be licensed as stated in the Colorado Producer Licensing Model Act. One of the necessary licensing prerequisites is a surety bond.

 

The bond will serve as an assurance that the Public Adjuster will conduct his business according to the rules and regulations that govern him.

 

A Public Adjuster is a person who adjusts insurance claims on behalf of the insured individual. The scope of his duties include:

• Aids or negotiates the settlement of a claim for loss or damage that is covered by the insured’s insurance contract
• Solicits business or advertises himself or herself as a Public Adjuster of first-party insurance claims in the state
• Directly or indirectly seeks business, adjusts losses, or gives advice to an insured person regarding first-party insurance claims

 

What is the Public Adjuster Bond amount?

The amount posted should be a minimum of $20,000, made payable to the Commissioner on behalf of any person in the State who suffered any damage due to the Public Adjuster’s misconduct.

 

Those who have excellent credit scores may be eligible for a very low bond premium or just 1% of the bond amount.
