A Pennsylvania Public Adjuster Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department (PID) for all public adjusters who operate in the state. A public adjuster is an individual or business that is hired by a policyholder to negotiate the settlement of an insurance claim. The bond ensures that the public adjuster will comply with all of the Pennsylvania Public Adjuster Licensing Act (Act 72), including:

• Providing accurate and truthful information to policyholders about their insurance claims
• Negotiating insurance claims in a fair and ethical manner
• Not misrepresenting themselves or their qualifications
• Not committing any fraud or other illegal activities

The bond amount is typically $50,000, but it may be higher depending on the public adjuster’s history of violations. The cost of the bond is usually between 1% and 3% of the bond amount. Surety1 will shop its many markets to procure the right price at the right terms.
