Jersey City Public Adjuster FAQs
Jersey City property owners often have questions about their rights, responsibilities and options during an insurance claim. Here are answers to common questions. Contact us for a free claim review.
Does Homeland handle basement flooding and storm claims in Jersey City?▶
Yes. Sandy flooded large sections of downtown Jersey City, and Ida dropped 6.38 inches of rain in six hours on the city in 2021. Homeland documents flood and water damage, reviews which of your policies applies, and handles the claim for you. Call our local line 24/7 at (201) 734-3777.
Does Homeland handle storm, flood and nor’easter claims in Jersey City?▶
Yes. Hurricane, tropical storm, nor’easter, wind and flood claims are among the losses Homeland handles in New Jersey, including claims under both NFIP and private flood policies.
How long does an insurance company have to respond to my claim in New Jersey?▶
New Jersey regulations require insurers to begin an investigation within 10 working days of notice of a claim, and set a 30-calendar-day period, running from receipt of a properly executed proof of loss, for first-party claims. If more time is needed, the insurer must explain why in writing, with updates every 45 days, unless a clear justification or other law provides otherwise.
Does Homeland serve Bayonne, North Bergen, Secaucus, and Weehawken too?▶
Yes. Homeland represents property owners throughout Hudson County, not just Jersey City itself, including Bayonne, North Bergen, Secaucus, and Weehawken.

Is Homeland a licensed public adjuster in New Jersey?▶
Yes. Homeland Public Adjusters Corporation holds New Jersey public adjuster firm license No. 3003982360 from the Department of Banking and Insurance. The insurance adjusters NJ carriers send to Jersey City properties work for the insurer; as licensed public insurance adjusters, we work only for the policyholder.

Does it cost anything to hire Homeland?▶
