Don’t just make a claim. Build a case
Commercial property owners have duties not only under the insurance policy, but obligations to tenants, clients and other owners. The ability to address all facets of a loss when damages occur creates a complex environment for commercial policyholders. These policyholders are unilaterally committed over and above their normal work flow when damages arise.

One point of contact to investigate, research, coordinate, identify policy benefits, communicate effectively with the carrier, properly present the claim and provide settlement options is an asset.

Retain us as your experts
Most people have little familiarity with their insurance policy. Many have neither the time, much less the expertise, to undertake the complexity of filing an insurance claim that results in a satisfactory settlement. It is not the job, duty, or responsibility of your insurance company to discover the full extent of your loss. It is yours.
We are on your side. Let us represent you, for we are an insurance claims adjusting, appraisal, and construction consulting company committed to recovering every client’s loss as if it were our own.

What Our Satisfied Clients Have To Say
“I would like to personally thank you both for all you’ve done to help us successfully negotiate this insurance maze. Your dogged determination combined with your constant and never ending faith that kept us focused on bringing this claim to a successful closure is so gratefully appreciated You were there fighting for us and holding us up when we had no idea where else to turn. Your expansive knowledge combined with your incredible negotiating skills mixed in with the facts have allowed us to finally close the book on this one.
Initially, we had discussed six months to a year. Who knew years would pass before a final settlement was negotiated? I, for one, cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done. I’ve learned a lot from both of you and your patience and good humor have seen us through some dark days. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say again, Thank you”

“Mr. Garrett’s firm, Garrett Claims Group, had the resources, reputation, enormous amount of detail, and professionalism to properly evaluate our claims. His comprehensive reports and persistent negotiating skills obtained our cultural center excellent insurance settlements. Without his involvement we would have never accomplished such just and equitable proceeds to restore our facility. We would not have known where to begin in separating the damages or have knowledge of our entitlements.
Our involvement was limited since Mr. Garrett’s firm orchestrated the entire claim process. This allowed us to focus on our employees and daily functions that so many depend upon here in the Pensacola Area.
Having someone with such a command in insurance claims and knowledge in construction that worked for our best interest was exemplary. Without question we recommend Mr. Garrett’s firm as the people’s representative.”
