As an incredibly complex topic that involves a great deal of stress for all involved parties, Jack brings up what is probably VPA’s biggest differentiator as a claims adjustment firm: his team’s empathy for clients.

Jack goes on to share his passion for bringing up the industry as a whole and the community within it. He channels this passion into a podcast and a commitment to putting out educational content revolving around his expertise on social media.

Key Quotes by Jack:

  • A claim is a claim is a claim—whether it’s $500 or $1000 or $1 million.
  • It’s not about the number of the claim—it’s about the risk of the claim.
  • As a public adjuster, we can do everything an attorney can except for filing a lawsuit.
