DFS Reminds Adjusting Firms to Designate Primary Adjuster

The Florida Department of Financial Services reminds adjusting firms that the primary adjuster law requires each person operating an adjusting firm, and each location of a multiple location adjusting firm, to designate a primary adjuster for each such firm or location.  The law defines a primary adjuster as the licensed adjuster who is responsible for the hiring and supervision of all individuals within an adjusting firm location who deal with the public and who acts in the capacity of a public adjuster as defined in section 626.854 or an independent adjuster as defined in section 626.855.  An adjuster may be designated as a primary adjuster for only one adjusting firm location.
