Libraries are more than buildings, they are vital community resources. When a library faces property damage due to storms, fire, or flooding, the disruption affects staff, visitors, and educational services. Insurance companies often underestimate the costs required to restore these facilities. That’s why Palco Claims, your trusted Texas Public Adjuster for Library, steps in to protect your institution’s rights and ensure a fair insurance settlement.

We directly engage with the insurer’s representatives to challenge low valuations and exclusions. Our team leverages evidence, repair data, and policy language to secure settlements that reflect your true cost of restoration.

Storm Damage Recovery for a Texas Library

Problem:
A community library in Dallas sustained severe roof damage and flooding after a major storm. The insurance company initially offered only 45% of the estimated restoration cost, excluding book replacement and moisture remediation.

Solution:
Palco Claims conducted a complete inspection, including HVAC units, drywall, and collection rooms. We documented humidity exposure, mold risks, and restoration costs with photographic evidence and expert reports.

Result:
Our negotiation led to a 58% higher payout than the insurer’s initial offer, allowing the library to restore its facility fully and reopen within six weeks.

Common Challenges Libraries Face During Claims

1. Policy Ambiguity
   Library policies often include confusing clauses about “equipment” and “contents.” Palco Claims interprets your coverage to ensure you receive payment for every eligible item.
