Question regarding N.J.S.A. 17:22B-13, Public Adjustors

IN regards to this law. If the adjuster had me sign a contract 12 hours after the fire, does that mean he violated the law. I signed the contract at 1pm on May 30th. THe fire was May 29th at 11pm.

You MIGHT have been able to rescind the contract on May 31st. Maybe. Now? No way.
