What Is the Purpose of a Colorado Public Adjuster Bond?
A Colorado Public Adjuster Bond is a financial guarantee that the public adjuster will comply with Colorado public adjuster laws and regulations. The bond gives the State of Colorado and harmed parties a way to seek recovery if the public adjuster violates covered rules or causes a covered financial loss.
Colorado law requires the bond to be in favor of the State and to specifically authorize recovery by the Commissioner on behalf of any person in Colorado who sustained damages because of the public adjuster’s erroneous acts, failure to act, fraud, or unfair practices while acting as a public adjuster.
Colorado Public Adjuster Bond vs Insurance
The Colorado Public Adjuster Bond protects the State and damaged parties. It is not insurance for the public adjuster. Errors and omissions insurance may protect the adjuster, while the surety bond exists to satisfy licensing requirements and protect others.
