Get Every Dollar You're Owed

Public adjusting and independent appraisals for vehicles, homes, and businesses across Montana and the Mountain West. If the insurance company's number feels low, it probably is. We get you what you deserve.

Our Services

From first inspection to final settlement, we make sure you receive every penny you are owed.

Public Adjuster Representation

A public adjuster is an independent insurance professional who works on behalf of you, the consumer. We review your policy, assess the damage, prepare detailed estimates and reports, and handle all negotiations to ensure you receive every penny that you are owed.

Independent Appraisals

Thorough, independent assessments backed by detailed analysis and current market data. We monitor industry trends closely so your appraisal reflects true market value, whether it is for insurance, sale, or management purposes.

Appraisal Clause Disputes

Disagree with the outcome of your insurance claim? Most insurance providers incorporate an appraisal clause in their policies that gives you recourse. We invoke it on your behalf and have a strong track record of recovering what is owed to our customers.

Diminished Value Appraisals

Even after quality repairs, a vehicle with a damage history is worth less. Since repair history is now publicly accessible through vehicle history reports, you may be entitled to compensation for both the repairs and the resulting loss in value.

Insurance Photo Sets

Professional photo documentation that captures every essential detail of your damage or loss, giving carriers the complete visual record they need to process your claim accurately and efficiently.

Auto, Home & Commercial Claims

We represent three kinds of clients: private vehicle owners, homeowners, and businesses. Total loss, diminished value, storm and fire damage, commercial property, claim denials: if a carrier owes you, we handle it.

Totaled my older, high mileage vehicle and wasn’t super hopeful to get a lot back for it. After getting in contact with Anthony at Teak Claim Consultants, he was able to get me back almost $7,000 more than insurance had offered. I would 100% recommend his services.

I cannot recommend my claim consultant enough. After my vehicle was totaled, I thought the insurance payout was set in stone — but they fought for me and got me almost $6,000 more than the original offer. If you’re dealing with a totaled vehicle claim, do yourself a favor and talk to them before accepting the first offer. Absolutely worth it!

After finding out my vehicle was a total loss, which was already upsetting, State Farm was only offering me $165 back. I knew I was being low balled by far. I contacted Anthony through Teak Claim Consultants and hired him to appraise my vehicle and ended up with an increase to where I’m getting $5,463 back from insurance. It is worth the money to hire Anthony!

TEAK was recommended by a long time trusted auto collision center who, along with us, the accident victims, was troubled by the insurance company "low-ball" damage repair assessment. We contacted Anthony and left the claim discussions in his hands. He succeeded in challenging the insurance adjusters figures and obtained a more accurate dollar amount which then covered our loss. We highly recommend TEAK.

I had a very difficult and extended auto claim having to involve Anthony with Teak Claim Consultants. He was always available and extremely knowledgeable about the whole claims process. He was instrumental in getting the claim completed and getting an increase in the final numbers. I would definitely recommend him.

I had a car totaled and the insurance company was going to offer me Pennies on the dollar for the upgrades that I did. Teak Consultants did an amazing job in record time getting me several thousand dollars more than I thought I could ever get by myself. Without them I would have owed money on a totaled car. I would highly recommend them and we'll use them in the future if unfortunate situations ever arise again!

Anthony was great to work with. I had a hard time dealing with my insurance adjusters, and he took over in a very timely and efficient manner. He got me several thousand dollars more for my payout. 10/10 recommend working with him!

I cannot recommend Anthony at Teak Claim Consultants enough. Dealing with auto insurance claims is usually a nightmare, but Anthony made the entire process completely zero-stress. He took over everything and dealt directly with the insurance company so I didn't have to. It was incredibly smooth from start to finish.

Real Recoveries. Real Money.

Over $485,000 Recovered in These Three Claims Alone

These are real claims from real clients. A Dodge Viper the carrier wanted to close out cheap, until our appraisal recovered an additional $234,000. A homeowners claim that settled $218,765.89 higher than the initial offer, and a commercial trailer that brought in $33,717 more. Every one of them started with a number that felt too low, and ended with a settlement that reflected the true value of the loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about public adjusting and the claims process

What is a public adjuster?

A public adjuster is an independent insurance professional who works on behalf of you, the consumer, not the insurance company. We review your policy, assess the damage, prepare detailed estimates and reports, and negotiate with your carrier to make sure you receive the settlement you are actually owed.

What types of claims do you handle?

We handle total loss appraisals, diminished value appraisals, repair estimate appraisals, homeowners claims, commercial claims, and claim denials. If you are not sure whether we can help, reach out for a general consultation and we will point you in the right direction.

Which states do you operate in?

We are licensed and operate in eight states: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Our home base is Billings, Montana, and we handle claims for vehicle owners, homeowners, and businesses across all of these states.

What is a diminished value claim?

Even after a quality repair, a vehicle with an accident history is worth less than an identical one without it. Because repair history is publicly accessible through vehicle history reports, you may be entitled to compensation for that loss in value in addition to the cost of repairs.

What can I do if I disagree with my insurance company's offer?

Most insurance providers incorporate an appraisal clause in their policies that gives you recourse when you disagree with the outcome of a claim. We invoke that clause on your behalf and have a strong track record of recovering what our clients are owed.

How do I get started?
