Client Success Stories: Advocate Claims Services in Action

When disaster strikes, navigating the insurance claims process can be daunting and frustrating. That’s where Advocate Claims Services (ACS) steps in. With our dedicated public adjusters, we help clients turn stressful situations into success stories. Here are some real-life examples of how ACS has made a difference for Michigan property owners and businesses, securing the settlements they deserved.


Success Story #1: Turning a Commercial Roof Collapse into a Full Settlement

A Michigan business owner faced significant challenges after a winter storm caused their warehouse roof to collapse, damaging inventory and halting operations. The insurance company initially offered a low settlement, citing inadequate documentation.

How ACS Helped:

  • Conducted a thorough assessment of the damage, including structural losses and ruined inventory.

  • Worked with engineers to validate repair estimates and future risk mitigation costs.

  • Compiled a detailed business interruption claim to recover lost income.

Result: ACS secured a settlement that was 125% higher than the insurer’s initial offer, allowing the business to rebuild and restock without financial strain.


Success Story #2: Restoring a Home After a Devastating Fire

A Bloomfield Hills family suffered a house fire that left significant smoke and water damage in addition to structural losses. The homeowner was overwhelmed by the claims process and unsure how to proceed when the insurance company disputed the cost of repairs.

How ACS Helped:

  • Advocated for the client by reviewing the policy to identify hidden coverage for temporary housing and personal property replacement.

  • Partnered with contractors to prepare accurate repair estimates.

  • Negotiated with the insurer to address coverage disputes.

Result: ACS obtained a settlement that fully covered the cost of repairs, personal property replacement, and temporary living expenses, allowing the family to focus on recovery.


Success Story #3: Maximizing a Flood Damage Claim

A Waterford business owner faced significant losses after a burst pipe flooded their retail space, damaging flooring, fixtures, and merchandise. The insurance company initially denied parts of the claim, stating that the policy didn’t cover specific damages.

How ACS Helped:

  • Carefully reviewed the policy to challenge the denial with clear evidence of covered damages.

  • Documented every loss, from structural repairs to damaged inventory.

  • Presented a compelling case to the insurer, supported by third-party evaluations.

Result: ACS successfully overturned the denial and negotiated a settlement that reimbursed the business for all covered losses, enabling a timely reopening.
