Lightning damage hides in the wiring, the roof, and the appliances — and that’s where claims get shorted
A lightning strike rarely leaves an obvious hole. The real damage runs through your home’s wiring, HVAC, roof, and electronics — often invisible until something fails weeks later. Insurers lean on that: they pay for the one obvious item and call the rest unrelated or pre-existing. How the strike’s full reach is documented is what decides whether you’re made whole or handed a fraction, and most homeowners have no idea how much is being left off. That is exactly the gap we close.
“PUBLIC LOSS ADJUSTERS CAN NEGOTIATE A PAYOUT THAT IS 20% TO 60% HIGHER THAN YOU CAN GET ON YOUR OWN.”
Lightning can be unpredictable and make your life very difficult. Dealing with your insurance company can be complicated, frustrating and confusing. Their claims adjuster may deny your claim.
Public Loss Adjusters can help you! We will document your loss and create a detailed estimate in a language that the insurance company understands. We use facts, figures and your own policy language to aggressively advocate on your behalf for a higher claim payment.
⏰ Underpaid on a past lightning damage claim? Florida law may still give you a window.
If a Florida insurer closed or underpaid a lightning damage claim, Fla. Stat. 627.70132 generally gives you a running window to act — but the clock runs from your date of loss, not the day you discover the shortfall. In most cases that means you may have less time than you think.
Your policy’s own notice terms can be shorter, and every claim is different. Whether your window is still open — and acting before it closes — is exactly what we handle. Call (352) 353-4556 and we’ll tell you where you stand.
