On the Jersey Shore, the argument is almost never whether you have damage. It is how the carrier classifies it. Two adjusters can stand in the same room and reach two different conclusions, and the one the carrier accepts decides what you get paid. That gap is where K9 goes to work for you.
The deductible makes it sharper still. New Jersey policies commonly carry a named-storm or hurricane deductible that can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, and carriers do not always apply it correctly. K9 verifies whether that deductible was triggered at all before your claim is settled, so you are not paying more than your policy actually requires.
The first week after a storm decides most of these claims. Evidence disappears fast once drying and demolition begin, which is exactly why carriers are in no rush to have an independent expert look at it. K9 gets involved immediately so what actually happened gets documented before it disappears.
Inland New Jersey: Multi-Family, Mixed-Use and the Exclusions Carriers Reach For
Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth and Trenton are a different business. The housing stock is older, much of it multi-family or mixed-use with a storefront underneath, and when a loss happens the carrier position tends to be the same: this is wear, this is deferred maintenance, this is a plumbing failure we do not cover.
Two things usually move those claims. The first is ordinance-and-law coverage: when a damaged building has to be rebuilt to current code, the upgrade cost is often covered under a policy provision owners do not know they are carrying. The second is loss of rents on multi-family properties, which is routinely underpaid or left out of the initial offer entirely because nobody put it in the claim.

New Jersey Questions We Get Asked
My carrier says the damage isn't covered under my policy. Can that be challenged?
Yes, and it is one of the most common disputes we see. Classification is a judgment call based on the evidence, not a fixed fact, and a different set of eyes can reach a different conclusion. K9 documents the case properly and early, before the carrier's version becomes the only version.
Could my carrier be applying the wrong deductible?
It happens more often than people think. Named-storm and hurricane deductibles in New Jersey can run into the tens of thousands of dollars, and they only apply under specific conditions. K9 checks every deductible before a claim is settled, so you are never paying more than your policy requires.
Does a public adjuster have to be licensed in New Jersey?
Yes. New Jersey requires public adjusters to be licensed by the Department of Banking and Insurance to represent policyholders on property claims in the state. K9 holds New Jersey Licence No. 3003147177. Ask any adjuster who approaches you after a storm for their licence number before you sign anything.
Can you take over a claim that has already been denied?
Often, yes. A denial is a position, not necessarily the end of the claim, and denials are sometimes based on an incomplete picture of the loss. Send us the denial letter and your policy and we will tell you honestly whether there is something to work with.
