Ohio Fire Claims represents Ohio business and commercial property owners through fire, flood, and major loss events, managing every part of the claims process to pursue the maximum settlement and get your operations moving again.
Most Business Owners Don’t Know
There’s an Alternative to What Their Insurance Company Tells Them
When fire, flood, or a major loss hits a commercial property, the insurance company opens a claim and assigns an adjuster, someone working to settle your loss for as little as possible. Most business owners take that first offer without ever realizing a licensed public adjuster could have fought for a significantly different outcome.
A Dedicated Team. One Goal.
Your Maximum Commercial Settlement.
Ohio Fire Claims is a licensed public adjusting firm. We work only for you, not for the insurance company. From the moment you bring us on, our team takes over the documentation, the negotiation, and every communication so you can focus on running your business.
What We Handle for You
Step 1: Emergency Response
We mobilize right away, inspect your commercial property, review your policy, and open your claim with the documentation and structure it needs from the start.
Step 2: Complete Damage Documentation
Our building estimators, contents specialists, and commercial loss consultants document structural damage, equipment, inventory, and the details that routinely get underestimated or missed.
Step 3: Claim Preparation and Presentation
We prepare and present your full commercial claim, business interruption losses, Proof of Loss, and any specialty coverage items included, and represent you through every negotiation and examination.
Step 4: Settlement and Recovery
We fight for the maximum settlement you’re entitled to under your policy. You review and approve before anything is finalized. You keep control over your rebuild and restoration decisions.
Commercial Claims Are Complex. That Complexity Works
Against You Without the Right Team.
We Work Only for You
The insurance company’s adjuster answers to the insurance company. Every member of our team answers to you and your business.
You Get a Full Team, Not One Person
Licensed public adjusters, building estimators, contents specialists, business interruption analysts, and support staff work your claim as a unit. No single point of failure. No detail left behind.
Business Interruption Is Part of the Claim
Lost revenue, ongoing expenses, and operational downtime are legitimate parts of a commercial claim. We document and present every element so nothing valuable gets left off the table.
You Stay in Control
You decide how your property is restored and who does the work. You approve every step before we move forward. Your business, your decisions.
No Financial Risk
Nothing up front. Our fee comes out of the settlement and only after you get paid. If we don’t recover for you, you owe us nothing.
Over 20 Years in Michigan Commercial Claims

I hired this team after my fire and was so happy with the services of this company I made a couple of referrals. The referrals that I made became happy clients as well.

In 2019, these guys literally changed our life. Had it not been for them advocating for us, we would have lost THOUSANDS of dollars of insurance money that was in our policy. Best decision I ever made for our family.

Matt, Ross, and Inventory Team:
Jerry and I wanted to thank all of you again for the assistance you gave us between the fire and our getting into our new home. Matt, you and Ross gave us reassurance and guidance working our way through this process. Kay, thanks to you for your extra time here trying to make sense of the cleaning inventory concerning what they did and did not do. We realize that you, Matt, made numerous visits to calm me down and give us support when we were overwhelmed with everything going on. We are very grateful. The job everyone did and the function and support of your company was priceless to us!
Thank you all!Jerry and Joyce Gillette

It has been five years now since I needed your service. I lost my home in March of 2010 to a house fire. I was getting the run around from my insurance company when I called and met with Nik the very next day. Thanks to him and the great team he has working for him I was able to buy a new home and recover what I had coming from the insurance company for my contents and home. If you should ever need references I would be happy to meet and speak with anyone.

As you know, it was not an easy decision for me to make, however it ended up being a very good decision and one that helped me a great deal during a very emotionally difficult time. I am deeply appreciative of everything you and your fine staff did to help me and I will remember that for the rest of my life.
Thanks again for everything.Lori

Every Type of Commercial Loss.
One Dedicated Team.
Commercial Fire
and Smoke
Damage Claims
Fire and smoke damage to a commercial property is complicated. Structural loss, equipment, inventory, and tenant improvements all demand precise documentation. We handle all of it.
Commercial
Water and Flood
Damage Claims
Water moves through a commercial building in ways that are easy to underestimate and costly to miss. Our team documents the full scope, visible and concealed, so your claim reflects the real loss.
Business
Interruption Claims
If your operations shut down or slow significantly because of a covered loss, you likely have a business interruption claim. We calculate and present lost income, continuing expenses, and recovery costs as part of your full claim.
Contents and
Equipment Valuation
Commercial contents, specialty equipment, and inventory call for detailed, defensible valuation. Our contents specialists document and substantiate every item so the insurance company can't minimize what was lost.
Denied and
Underpaid Claims
If your insurance company has denied or underpaid your commercial claim, that isn't the final answer. We review your policy, challenge the position, and work to recover what your business is owed.
Proof of Loss and
Examination Support
Ohio requires a Sworn Statement and Proof of Loss within 60 days of the loss date. We prepare this documentation and represent your business through any examination under oath.
