Public Adjuster South Carolina

Licensed public adjusters serving South Carolina policyholders: hurricane, windstorm, water, roof, fire, and commercial claims handled on contingency, from the Lowcountry to the Upstate.

South Carolina public adjusters

Local claims help that works only for you.

South Carolina property owners face hurricane and storm-surge losses on the coast, inland and flash flooding in the Midlands, and severe-storm, hail, and high-wind damage across the Upstate. Insurance company adjusters routinely scope these losses for the carrier. We document them for you.

Vanguard Claims represents South Carolina policyholders, never the insurance company. We document the full scope of your loss and negotiate for the settlement your policy owes, on contingency. No upfront fees; we're only paid after you recover.

South Carolina law

Public adjusters and your rights in South Carolina

South Carolina public adjusters are licensed and regulated by the South Carolina Department of Insurance under the state's public adjuster law (S.C. Code Ann. Title 38, Chapter 92). That law requires a written contract before any work begins and gives you the right to cancel that contract within five business days of signing.

In South Carolina, you generally have three years to file suit on a property insurance policy (S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530), but your policy's own notice and proof-of-loss deadlines are usually much shorter and control how quickly you must act. Because the deadline that matters is most often the one written into your policy, report and document your loss early.

South Carolina has no statutory "25% roof rule" or matching requirement. What your policy owes on a roof or a repair depends on the policy's own terms, including actual cash value versus replacement cost. We review your policy against the loss so nothing you're owed is left on the table.
