Tiger Adjusters

Tiger Adjusters calls its people Claim Solution Champions, and the brand lives up to the swagger: this is the first tech-enabled public adjusting franchise in the United States. Founded by Ted Patestos, Tiger pairs old-school policyholder advocacy with a modern toolkit, then scales it through a national franchise network built to fight underpaid and wrongly denied claims.

The technology is real, not window dressing. Tiger Tech puts electronic moisture meters, aerial drones, MatterPort 3D scanners, and laser measuring tools into every inspection so nothing gets missed. The firm reports making dozens of calls and emails to the carrier per claim, and its work has earned a 4.9-star Google rating along with coverage in The New York Times, The Dallas Morning News, and The Advocate.

Momentum is on their side. Entrepreneur Magazine named Tiger Adjusters one of the fastest-growing franchises of 2026, and the network now runs licensed offices across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, New Jersey, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Washington DC, with more coming. From a corporate base in Toms River, New Jersey, Tiger handles homeowner and commercial claims plus appraisal work across hurricane, fire, water, wind, hail, and tornado damage. One published case study: after Hurricane Ida, Tiger increased a Louisiana settlement for homeowners Linda and Jon Davis by 3,200%.

A public adjuster is the only kind of adjuster licensed to work for you, the policyholder, not the insurance company. They document the loss, build a detailed scope and estimate, read the policy for coverage you may have missed, and negotiate the payout with the carrier, working on a percentage of what you recover.

A public adjuster is not a contractor and not an attorney: they cannot make repairs, file suit, or give legal advice. See what a public adjuster actually does and when to hire one.

Get the exact legal name and license (or NPN) number, then confirm an active public adjuster license in the state where your property sits. Do it on the official roster, never take the number on a business card at face value.

A public adjuster is the right call when the carrier agrees the loss is covered but the check is too low. When the carrier denies coverage outright, alleges misrepresentation, sits on the claim past the statutory deadlines, or acts in bad faith, that is legal territory a public adjuster cannot enter.

If your claim was denied rather than merely underpaid, start with a free attorney review; see public adjuster vs. attorney, why claims get denied, and the deadlines that protect your rights.
