About Cornerstone
Cornerstone Claims Adjusters, LLC is an independent vehicle and equipment appraisal and damage consulting firm serving Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi.
Founder
Owner
Clay founded Cornerstone Claims Adjusters in the autumn of 2021, bringing more than 25 years in the claims and collision industries.
He began in auto body shop management with one of the nation’s largest collision repair chains, moved into adjusting in 1999 handling multi-line claims in a very high-volume territory, and spent 15 years as an auto appraiser for one of the largest insurers in the country.
Along the way he mentored APD veterans, served as an arbitrator for Arbitration Forums, and developed training curriculum on the best methods for handling problem claims — the files where a customer disputes the quality of a repair.
That progression is the reason Cornerstone gets called on the complicated work. Clay has written the estimate, questioned the estimate, and been asked to settle the difference.
