Natural disasters can strike without warning—hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, or tornados can change lives in an instant. In these moments, quick, reliable insurance support isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. At VI Adjusters, we understand how devastating these events can be, and we’re here to help policyholders navigate the complex insurance claims process with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or property manager, our goal is simple: to help you recover faster and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
The Rising Impact of Natural Disasters
Climate change and shifting weather patterns have led to an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. According to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), the United States alone faced over 25 billion-dollar disaster events in 2024. These events leave communities scrambling to recover—physically, emotionally, and financially.
In this high-stakes environment, understanding your insurance policy and your rights becomes more important than ever.
Why Hire a Public Adjuster After a Disaster?
After a natural disaster, insurance companies send their own adjusters to assess the damage. But it’s important to remember—they work for the insurance company, not for you.
This is where VI Adjusters steps in.

- Evaluate and document damage thoroughly
- Interpret your policy to maximize your claim
- Negotiate with your insurance company

- Reduce your stress during a crisis
Our experts have experience with all types of disasters, including:
