Daniel C. Hogan, CEO When Daniel Hogan, CEO of D.C. Hogan & Associates, Inc., launched his public adjusting firm, he understood the frustrations of a policyholder. Having had his property lost due to fire and water, Dan realized how a policyholder is not a representation by the insurance company adjuster and how he had to endure a long, frustrating, and tedious process to cover their losses. With a deep understanding of claimants’ plights, he started his Public Adjuster Career in 2008. Dan Hogan has helped over 4000 clients and has recovered over 250 million for the insured. He created D.C. Hogan & Associates Inc to help represent clients daily. Dan continues to cater to the benefits of the Policyholder with a customer-oriented approach that ensures complete, fair, and timely recovery settlement.

“At D.C Hogan & Associates, we spend the time to find additional damages that are often overlooked in the process of claim adjustment,” says Mr. Hogan.
As the pandemic caused notable delay in claim process because the carrier’s adjuster and staff worked remotely, it became clear that we as a Public Adjuster Firm had to be more diligent then ever to get the claim paid accordingly to the time frame in the Policy and State Statue.
The pandemic had caused business income loss more challenging with a Insured covered peril the normal practice for BI documentation is the P&L for the last 6 to 12 months and with Business slow down because of the pandemic we had to get the carrier to review 12 to 24 months of P&L statement to get a true indication of the true Business loss.

With the wealth of knowledge as a claim adjusting firm, D.C Hogan & Associates, Inc has an eye for detail, noticing damage otherwise overlooked by the carrier. A prominent example is a church in Florida that was damaged due to hurricane Michael. The insurance company only paid for a minor repair on the roof. As the pastor and parishioners were doubtful about their insurance claim, they retained D.C Hogan & Associates, Inc services. When the company inspected the loss, they discovered that the unavailability of clay tiles was the primary hindrance to the roof’s repair. D.C Hogan & Associates negotiated with the insurance company and received a complete replacement for the church and the cover of the interior. The original claim payment was $38,275.00, and the firm secured a total settlement of $428,598.00 for the insured.
