Independent Public Adjuster Advocacy – Get the Settlement You’re Entitled To

By law in Ontario, you must prove your claim. Insurers don’t tell you this — because it helps them pay less. PAAC works in partnership with a licensed Ontario Public Adjuster and a licensed Ontario law firm to make sure your claim is fully documented, properly proven, and fairly settled.

Why Policyholders in Ontario Need a Public Adjuster


By law in Ontario, you are responsible for proving your loss — something most policyholders don’t realize.

Most insurers advertise: “We’ll take care of everything.” The truth? That message is designed to save them money, control the process, minimize their risk, and even deny claims — not to maximize your recovery.

Without independent Public Adjuster support, you risk:

  • Lowball settlement offers well below actual repair costs
  • Delays and red tape that create stress and financial pressure
  • Insurer-preferred vendors who cut costs at your expense

Our Difference

With PAAC, you don’t just get a Public Adjuster — you get a full team. Our licensed Ontario Public Adjuster partner, Ontario law firm, and construction experts work together to:

  • Protect your rights and secure your full indemnity under the policy
  • Lower your costs with a $0 Public Adjuster fee if PAAC completes the repairs, or flat/hourly fees if not
  • Strengthen your claim with proper loss quantification, code compliance, and legal backup for coverage disputes
