What is a Missouri Public Adjuster Bond?

Public Adjusters gives peace of mind to the insured during times of crisis by negotiating deals that will be advantageous to the insured.

 

A Missouri Public Adjuster Bond will help the public adjuster provide those services to their clients and more!

 

All public adjusters in Missouri who are applying for a license are required to secure a surety bond with an adequate amount.

 

Lawful fulfillment of the obligations by the licensed public adjuster is one of the conditions of the surety bond. The other is ensuring financial compensation to the clients in cases when the licensed public adjuster deviates from the state laws, and that such misconduct has caused significant harm to the client.

 

The surety bond requirement is in strict compliance with Section 325.020 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

 

What is the Public Adjuster Bond amount?

The bond amount is $10,000 for licensed public adjusters.

 

An additional $1,000 for each employee or solicitor of the licensed public adjust is required. This should be submitted as a separate surety bond.

 

For example, if the licensed public adjuster has 5 licensed public adjusters as employees, the surety bond amount will be $5,000.

5 X $1,000 = $5,000

Bond No. 1 – $10,000 for the licensed public adjuster

   plus…

Bond No. 2 – $5,000 for the employees of the licensed public adjuster
