Globe Midwest Adjusters International

Globe Midwest Adjusters International is a public adjusting firm that works exclusively for the policyholder during the property insurance claims process. It has represented property and business owners since 1924 and handles claims for businesses, commercial property owners and homeowners.

The Michigan practice covers fires, tornadoes, windstorms, floods, winter storms and building collapse. Adjusters develop a claim strategy with the policyholder, then prepare and negotiate the claim; the firm says settlements are often significantly higher than the insurance company's initial offer.

Coverage runs from Southfield and Grand Rapids in Michigan to a Chicago office in the River North neighbourhood, with the Grand Rapids team serving Kalamazoo, Holland, Muskegon, Battle Creek and Grand Haven. Site copy describes the firm as the oldest and largest public adjusting firm in Michigan.

Published case results range from claims in the tens of thousands to settlements of $19.5 million and $20 million, with the firm noting that actual results vary with the circumstances of each loss. Its own site copy lists coverage of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, so confirm which states it is licensed in before engaging.
