Yes, of course you are entitled to see the report from the insurance adjuster.  Why?  Is the claims adjuster refusing to send it to you?  If the adjuster is not permitting you to see the report then I would call your state Department of Insurance and file a complaint against the company.  Insurance companies do not like it when consumers file complaints against them.  The insurance company will not, however, ignore the State Department of insurance as to the matter, even if they ignore you.  That could result in sanctions of some sort like fines and penalties I am sure.  You need to be assertive and to follow through with your rights here. So go ahead: call them.  Good luck.
