About PCAN Georgia

The Public Claims Adjusters Network (PCAN) is a national network of pre-vetted, licensed, and verified public adjusters who specialize in residential and commercial property damage insurance claims. Our member adjusters cover over 30 different claim types and are located in 40+ states. You can view the Counties & Cities In Georgia That We Service Here.

PCAN operates through our education-focused platform for policyholders, PublicClaimsAdjusters.io, which provides educational resources and answers to the most frequently asked questions policyholders have after disaster strikes.

We aim to help educate policyholders on their rights, and spread awareness of the numerous benefits for policyholders in working with a licensed public adjuster when it comes to their damage claims.

With less than 5% of all policyholders even knowing what a public adjuster is, let alone that they are legally entitled to hire one in nearly all States, we hope to spread awareness of the numerous benefits working with a licensed public adjuster can bring to policyholders nationwide.
