Our History and Mission

The public adjusting industry was still in its infancy when Hurricane Andrew devastated South Florida in 1992. The aftermath of the storm led to a surge in demand for professional claims handling services. As the demand grew, so did the number of public adjusters flooding into the state. Unfortunately, this influx brought a mix of qualified and unqualified professionals, leading to a narrative about "bad actors" in the industry.

The Origin of FAPIA

In response to the challenges faced by public adjusters and the growing concerns about the industry's reputation, a small group of dedicated professionals came together to form the Florida Public Insurance Alliance (FAPIA). Founded in December 1992, FAPIA aimed to establish a unified voice for public adjusters, promote ethical standards, and advocate for the industry's well-being.

Our Services and Benefits

As a leading industry organization, FAPIA offers a range of services and benefits to its members. Our organization provides a platform for public adjusters to network, share knowledge, and stay updated on industry developments. We also promote public awareness campaigns to educate homeowners and business owners about the importance of hiring licensed and qualified public adjusters.

Community Affairs and Legislative Efforts

FAPIA actively engages with government agencies, insurance companies, and other stakeholders to promote fair and sustainable practices in the insurance industry. We work closely with state legislators and regulators to ensure that public adjusters' rights are protected and that the industry remains a vital part of the insurance ecosystem.

Code of Ethics

At FAPIA, we take pride in our strong Code of Ethics, which guides our actions and decision-making. We believe that Ethics and integrity are the foundation of a healthy and trustworthy industry. Our Code promotes honesty, transparency, and fairness in all our interactions, from member communications to public outreach.

Public Adjusters and Our Role

Public adjusters are licensed professionals who work on behalf of policyholders to navigate the claims process, ensuring that they receive fair compensation for their losses. Our organization is committed to promoting the professionalism and integrity of public adjusters, as we work together to protect the interests of policyholders and uphold the principles of fair play in the insurance industry.

Conclusion

FAPIA is proud to be a leader in the public adjusting industry, committed to promoting ethical practices, advocating for policyholder rights, and fostering a culture of professionalism and integrity.
