About Our Advocacy

OUR STORY

Independent Claims Advocacy, Built From Real Field Experience

Claim Defend Advocacy was founded by Daniel Deines, an independent, multi-line insurance adjuster who has worked property, auto, fleet, and heavy equipment claims directly in the field. Based in Lafayette, Indiana, Claim Defend Advocacy provides independent, field-tested insurance-claim education and advocacy resources for policyholders and asset managers nationwide.

Decades in the Field, Not Behind a Desk

Our practice was built directly from the field: inspecting collapsed roofs, totaled fleets, flooded warehouses, and every category of commercial and personal loss in between. That hands-on, boots-on-the-ground foundation is what separates real claims advocacy from a call center reading a script.

Independent, Multi-Line Adjusting Expertise

As an independent, multi-line adjuster, I’ve evaluated property, auto, fleet, and heavy equipment claims across virtually every carrier and policy structure in the industry. That breadth means I already know the playbook insurance carriers use to minimize payouts, because I’ve seen it deployed firsthand.

Protecting Policyholders Against Stall Tactics

Delay, deny, and defend is a business strategy, not an accident. We exist to interrupt that strategy: identifying suit limitation deadlines before they expire, documenting diminished value before evidence disappears, and holding carriers to the letter of the policies they wrote. Our commitment is singular: keep policyholders and asset managers fully informed, fully documented, and fully protected until the claim is resolved on fair terms.
