What if I get a bond claim?
Unlike insurance, your Colorado public adjuster bond does not protect your business. Instead, it is a safety net for your customers against potential legal breaches on your side. You can get a claim against your surety bond if you engage in illegal activities.
A harmed party can demand a compensation up to the penal sum of your bond, which is $20,000 in this case. At first, your surety can step in to cover the costs for proven claims, so that the reimbursement for the claimant is quick and seamless. However, you have to repay it in full afterwards. Thus, bond claims can be financially harming. They can also prevent you from getting bonded in the future, so it’s best to avoid them.
