For Colorado Policy Holders Seeking A Public Adjuster
The Public Claims Adjusters Network (PCAN) serves as a resource for policyholders to connect with expert public adjusters who are pre-vetted, licensed, and experts in their field. Public adjusters in the Public Claims Adjusters Network are considered to be the best-of-the-best, and must go through an intensive application & interview process to even be admitted.
All PCAN member adjusters are held to the highest standards of ethics, morals, and professionalism, with mandatory bi-yearly audits of their licenses and any complaints. PCAN acts as a resource for the top public adjusters around the nation, connecting them with policyholders who need their assistance.
For policyholders, we are able to provide them with peace of mind in knowing that every public adjuster in our network has been pre-vetted by our team, has met our stringent network requirements (below), has passed our network’s stringent application process, and is subject to bi-yearly license audits & client satisfaction reviews.
When a policyholder requests to be contacted by one of our member public adjusters, they know they are working with the best in the industry. All member adjusters are held to the highest moral and ethical standards and are fully committed to a POLICYHOLDER FIRST code of conduct.

*We have lowered our minimum time in business to 3+ years (formerly 5+ years) to accommodate for the fact that many former insurance adjusters are transitioning to becoming public adjusters, and most have many years in the adjusting industry that they are carrying over. If a public adjuster applies for membership in the network, and they have 7+ years experience as an insurance adjuster (considered a Senior Level Adjuster by the industry) they will also be permitted entry to the network based on the seniority of their previous experience (assuming they pass the rest of the application & audit process).
**In states requiring apprenticeship, public adjusters may apply for membership after their apprenticeship period, provided they have a professional letter of reference from the firm under which they completed their apprenticeship, if that firm is already a PCAN network member in good standing.
