Expert Fire Claim Help Starts Here

A fire loss becomes three claims at once: the structure, everything inside it and somewhere to live while it is rebuilt. Our fire insurance claim specialists document and negotiate all of it so you can start recovering.

What We’re Usually Called For

Where Fire Claims Go Wrong

After a fire, the paperwork arrives faster than the recovery does. These are the places policyholders lose value.

  • A contents inventory the carrier expects you to produce room by room
  • Smoke, soot and heat damage outside the burn area left out of the scope
  • Additional living expense that is questioned, capped early or delayed
  • Repair estimates that do not reflect what rebuilding actually costs
  • Code upgrade and ordinance-and-law issues nobody raised with you
  • A total-loss valuation you have no practical way to challenge alone

What Happens Next

How We Run a Fire Claim

We work closely with top vendors in our industry so your home and its contents are restored properly.

Read the Policy and Secure the Basics

Coverage for structure, contents, additional living expense, code upgrades and debris removal is identified up front, along with every deadline the policy imposes on you.

Document the Structure and the Smoke

Fire damage does not stop at the char line. We document heat, soot and smoke intrusion through the rest of the property, not just the room it started in.

Build the Contents Claim

Contents are where fire claims are most often underpaid. We handle the inventory and valuation work instead of leaving it on your kitchen table.

Negotiate and Coordinate the Rebuild

We present the claim, negotiate the settlement, and coordinate with the restoration and reconstruction vendors handling the property and its contents.

Representation & Fees

No Recovery, No Fee

We are the policyholder's advocate — never the insurance company's. Your carrier's adjuster works for your carrier. We work only for you, and we are paid on a contingency fee out of the recovery.

If we do not secure a payout on your claim, you owe us nothing. What we will not do is guess at your policy for you or promise a number before we have read it and documented the loss.

FAQ

Common Questions

What Does a Public Adjuster Actually Do?

A public adjuster is licensed by the State of California to represent the policyholder — not the insurer — on an insurance claim. On a fire claim we read the policy, document the damage, prepare and present the claim, and negotiate the settlement with your carrier.

What Does It Cost?

We work on a contingency fee agreed in writing before we start, and our promise is No Recovery, No Fee — if we do not secure a payout, you owe us nothing.

Can You Help if I Already Filed and Got an Offer?

Often, yes. Claims can be reopened, supplemented or disputed while they are within policy and statutory time limits. Bring us the offer, the estimate and the policy and we will tell you honestly whether there is room.

Are You the Insurance Company?

No. We are independent of every carrier. Golden Coast Claims is retained by you and answers only to you.

Who Will Handle My Claim?

Patrick Robison, owner and licensed California public adjuster (license CA 2L64406), and the Golden Coast Claims team.

Do I Have to Make the Contents List Myself?

No — that is part of what we take on. The contents inventory is one of the most demanding parts of a fire claim and one of the most commonly underpaid.
