PA was founded in 2015 by Scott Friedson, a consumer advocate and public insurance adjuster.  

The need for a consumer advocate to help insured Policyholders dealing with property damage insurance claims has reached crisis levels.  In the aftermath of any Texas disaster, far too many policyholders find themselves struggling with understanding the insurance claim process.   Home and business owners face many challenges.  Recovery after any disaster can be challenging for anyone.  Rebuilding starts with knowing your rights.  

We help folks understand the different roles, boundaries, characteristics and best practices between good and bad faith insurance claim handling practices.  Our goal is to raise public awareness of the insurance claim process including how to qualify vendors, public adjusters, lawyers and others who could make or break your recovery.  

Adding to the consumers struggle is the fact that not all states license roofing or general contractors.  One of PA's goals is unite like minded professionals to legitimately perform and understand best practices in the roles and boundaries in which licensed agents and vendors can act under current Texas laws.  Insurance carriers and adjusting firms handle claims daily.   We're here to help policyholders receive the fair and prompt settlement they deserve.

Insurance companies constantly attempt to pass significant legislative reform measures to address the abusive attempts to strip policyholders of their rights under the insurance code statutes related to bad faith penalties but they tried hard.
