Colorado public adjusters · Claims by insurer
Colorado home insurance claim denied or underpaid?
Colorado homeowners file claims for Front Range hail, straight-line wind, wildfire smoke and water damage. When the insurer denies or underpays, Colorado’s homeowner claim statutes and your policy language set the ground rules.
American Financial Claims represents policyholders—not insurance companies. We review the policy, the damage and the carrier’s position before explaining whether a public adjuster can help.

Colorado claim rules and what to do after a denial or low offer
- 1
Request your policy right away
A Colorado homeowner’s insurer must make a copy of your policy, with declarations and endorsements, available within 3 business days after you ask, and a certified copy within 30 calendar days after a written request to its registered agent (C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(10)).
- 2
Get the decision and the reasons in writing
Ask for the specific policy provision the denial or reduction relies on, the adjuster’s estimate and any reports. Colorado law prohibits unreasonable delay or denial of covered benefits (C.R.S. § 10-3-1115).
- 3
Know your contents and ALE rights
After a total loss of a furnished primary home’s contents, insurers must offer at least 30% of the contents limit without an inventory and allow at least 365 days to submit one. Replacement-cost dwelling policies must include at least 12 months of ALE (C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(6), (11)).
- 4
Use the policy’s appraisal clause if the fight is about the amount
Most homeowners policies have an appraisal clause for disagreements about the amount of loss, not coverage. Read its exact steps, costs and deadlines before invoking it.
- 5
Don’t rely on a shortened suit deadline
A Colorado homeowner’s policy can’t require you to sue within a shorter time than the statute of limitations (C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(12)). Ask a Colorado-licensed attorney about legal deadlines.

Colorado insurance claim FAQ
How do I get a copy of my policy in Colorado?
Ask your insurer. Under C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(10), a homeowner’s insurer must make a copy of your policy, including the declarations page and endorsements, available within 3 business days after you request it, and a certified copy within 30 calendar days after a written request to its registered agent.
Is American Financial Claims licensed in Colorado?
Yes. American Financial Claims holds a Colorado public adjuster license 940240. We represent policyholders only, never insurance companies, and we can inspect in person, by phone or by video.
My insurance company isn’t listed. Can you still help?
Yes. The list shows the largest home insurers by market share, not the only ones. Colorado’s claim-handling rules apply to every insurer licensed in the state, and the review works the same way whoever wrote your policy.
Can you guarantee the insurer will change its decision?
No. No one can honestly guarantee an outcome. We review the file, tell you what we see, and represent you if it makes sense to work together. Every claim is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
What does the review cost?
The claim review is free, and asking questions doesn’t hire us. If it makes sense to work together, the fee and services are explained in a written agreement before you sign.
