On August 21, 2018, with Hurricane Lane approaching, the Hawaii Insurance Commissioner issued a declaration allowing out-of-state independent adjusters to assist with claims for thirty days. The declaration is here. The adjuster must be licensed in a state with similar licensing requirements as Hawaii. Hopefully, the addition of more adjusters will assist insureds process claims more quickly after loss from Hurricane Lane.
Insureds are advised to carefully check the credentials of any out-of-state independent adjuster they may hire.
