When your theater suffers property damage, the financial and emotional toll can be overwhelming. The lights go dark, performances stop, and revenue disappears — all while insurance paperwork piles up. At Palco Claims, we understand that your theater isn’t just a building — it’s the heart of your community and your livelihood.
As your dedicated Texas Public Adjuster for Theater, we handle every aspect of your insurance claim — from inspection and documentation to negotiation and settlement — ensuring you receive the full compensation your policy provides.
Whether your venue has faced fire, storm, or water damage, our expert adjusters work for you, not the insurance company.
Understanding Theater Insurance Claims in Texas
Theaters face unique operational and structural risks that typical businesses don’t. Damage can affect not only the building itself but also lighting grids, stage flooring, sound systems, and audience seating. Without a specialized adjuster, many of these essential elements are undervalued or completely overlooked by insurers.
That’s where Palco Claims, your trusted Texas Public Adjuster for Theater, comes in. We understand performance venues, their equipment, and their revenue structures — giving us the insight needed to ensure every loss is accounted for.
Common Types of Theater Damages We Handle
- Fire or smoke damage to curtains, seats, or décor

- Burst pipes leading to stage and basement flooding
- Storm or wind damage to roofs and signage

Theater Claim From Damage to Reopening
Problem:
A historic performing arts theater in San Antonio, TX, suffered severe storm damage that destroyed roof panels, stage curtains, and part of the lighting grid. The initial insurance offer only covered partial structural repair and excluded stage equipment losses.
