Property Damage Insurance Claims in Florida

The check the insurer writes is almost never the full value of the damage

Every property loss — water, wind, fire, roof, mold, impact — has damage you can see and damage you cannot: what moved behind walls and under floors, the secondary damage that shows up weeks later, code-required upgrades, matching of undamaged materials, and the cost of living elsewhere while repairs happen. The insurer’s adjuster writes the scope, and that scope is routinely a fraction of what the policy actually covers. By the time most homeowners realize what was left out, the claim is already largely set. That is exactly the gap we close.

And it costs you nothing out of pocket. A licensed public adjuster handles your property damage claim on contingency — we are paid a percentage only if we recover for you. No recovery, no fee. Whether you are about to file, mid-claim, or already paid too little, the most valuable move you can make is to talk to us before you settle anything with your insurer.

⏰ Already paid too little on a past property damage claim? Florida law may still give you a window.

If a Florida insurer closed or underpaid a property damage claim, Fla. Stat. 627.70132 generally gives you a running window to act — but the clock starts on your date of loss, not the day you discover the shortfall. In most cases that means you may have less time than you think.

Reopen a closed claimgenerally within 1 year of the date of loss — for additional costs on damage that was already disclosed.
File a supplemental claimgenerally within 18 months of the date of loss — for additional damage from the same event the insurer already adjusted.

Your policy’s own notice terms can be shorter, and every claim is different. Figuring out 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.
